MEGA Client for Windows

Manage your MEGA storage from a Windows file manager instead of the browser - transfer to and from your other clouds and servers, edit in place, and back up.

Demonstration: Connecting a MEGA account in FTPie

MEGA's appeal is its generous free storage and end-to-end encryption, but most people only ever touch it through the web app or MEGA's own sync client. Neither is a great way to actually manage files - and neither helps you move data between MEGA and the other places your files live.

FTPie gives MEGA a real Windows file manager. Browse your MEGA storage in a dual-pane window, transfer to and from your other clouds and servers, and treat it like any other storage - without living in the browser.

How FTPie connects to MEGA

MEGA is a native, built-in integration:

  1. Add a new storage in FTPie and choose MEGA.
  2. Sign in with your MEGA account; FTPie handles MEGA's encryption transparently.
  3. MEGA appears as a tile, ready to browse next to your other storage.

What you can do

  • A proper file manager for MEGA - dual-pane, tabs, tree view
  • Transfer between MEGA and other storage by dragging across panes
  • Edit in place with built-in editors or external apps
  • On-demand access - no full sync to your disk
  • Scheduled backups to or from MEGA

MEGA next to everything else

Use MEGA's free space as an off-site backup target for your FTP server or NAS, migrate files from another cloud into MEGA, or pull a folder out of MEGA into storage you control - all by dragging between panes in a single window.

Common questions

Does FTPie handle MEGA's encryption?

Yes - MEGA's account encryption is handled for you when you sign in, so files are readable in FTPie as you would expect.

Does it download my whole MEGA account?

No - FTPie streams on demand, downloading files only when you open or transfer them.

Do you store my MEGA credentials?

No. FTPie is a local desktop app and your credentials stay on your machine. See the security page.

Is it free?

Cloud connections are part of FTPie Pro. The free plan covers up to 3 FTP/FTPS/SFTP connections; Pro adds the clouds, WebDAV, NAS and self-hosted, with a 14-day free trial. See the plan comparison.
