MEGA says files are encrypted on your device with a random key per file, and file names, folder names and thumbnails are encrypted too. File sizes, the folder structure and the order of file versions stay readable to MEGA. The web version loads its encryption code from MEGA's servers on every visit, unless you use MEGA's extension for Chrome or Edge.

Sync says files and file names are encrypted on your device with 256-bit AES. File size, type, creation time and the creator of a shared file are not encrypted. On paid plans, email password reset is on by default and keeps a copy of your account key that Sync's automated systems can use; turning it off deletes the copy. Previews of Office and other formats, media streaming, editing in Microsoft's editor, faster web downloads over 100 MB and links without Enhanced privacy are processed outside end-to-end encryption. The web panel decrypts files in your browser with code that Sync serves on every visit.

Since May 2025 the contract for MEGA's cloud service has been with MEGA Privacy Kft, registered in Csomád, Hungary, under Hungarian law; subscriptions bought in the Apple and Google app stores are with MEGA Networks LLC (Delaware, USA), also under Hungarian law. Until then the operator was in New Zealand. Personal data is stored in Japan, Canada and the EU; MEGA says none is stored in the USA.

Sync.com Inc. is registered in Ontario and contracts with users outside the US; users in the US contract with Sync.com Corp., a Delaware company. The terms are governed by Ontario and Canadian law unless local law requires otherwise. Files are stored in Canada by default, or in the US for accounts in the US data region; account data is also kept with service providers in the US.

MEGA's website does not name its shareholders. It was founded in New Zealand in 2013 and restructured in March 2025, when a Hungarian company became the provider of the cloud service; offices are in Hungary (head office), New Zealand and Spain.

Sync says it was founded in Toronto in 2011 by Thomas Savundra, Suhan Shan and Darius Antia and has more than 2 million users.

Up to 100 versions of each file, with no time limit; past 100, MEGA removes versions in between but keeps the oldest and newest. Rewind restores deleted files and folders to a past date: 30 days on the free plan (view only), up to 60 days on paid plans.

Earlier versions and deleted files can be restored for 30 days on the free plan, 90 days on Personal 1TB, 180 days on Solo 5TB and 365 days on Personal Unlimited. They do not count toward your storage.
