User Case: Can I Transfer Files from MEGA to OneDrive?

 

"I'm looking to 'copy' some data from MEGA to OneDrive. I've seen Wondershare mentioned, but it's not convenient for me and time-consuming on a plan I can afford. Any other guidance would be greatly appreciated."

 

"Hi, guys. My subscription to MEGA ends at the end of the month and I'm looking for a way to copy all the files I have there to OneDrive. Unfortunately, I can't download them all. It would be really helpful if you have any ideas on how to replicate them. Thanks again! "

 

Why Need to Transfer from MEGA to OneDrive?

When a user has a large amount of data stored on MEGA and wants to transfer those files to OneDrive, there may be several reasons to do so. While both platforms are great for keeping your files online, people may still be forced to switch from MEGA to OneDrive.

  • Better pricing for OneDrive: Not only does the Microsoft 365 Personal plan give you 1,000GB per month for $5.83 on an annual plan, but it also gives you all the Office 365 Personal apps.
  • Easy to collaborate: In contrast, MEGA has a larger free account (20GB compared to OneDrive's 5GB) and zero-knowledge encryption but isn't great for collaboration, and OneDrive is one of the top-rated cloud content collaboration services.
  • Safer: OneDrive is one of the most reliable and secure platforms to keep your data as long as you want. You may have also read stories about potential problems with MEGA's security architecture, which hasn't happened yet with OneDrive.
  • Remote upload: The most important reason to choose OneDrive is that it supports remote uploading of files from anywhere, which MEGA does not provide.
