Client-side encryption at upload Flexible duration Private cloud GDPR best practices

How we protect your files

Automatic encryption

Files are encrypted with AES-256 at upload and stored securely. Decryption occurs only upon authorized download.

Instant download link

After upload you receive a secure link to share, avoiding heavy email attachments and simplifying the sending of large files.

Lifespan control

For guests, files expire after 14 days. Registered users can set flexible durations and delete files at any time.

Why secure sharing isn’t email

Feature MegaFile Email attachments Generic Drive links
Sizes Built for large files Often limited to < 25 MB Limited by storage/quotas
File encryption AES-256 at upload Depends on provider; often transit-only In transit/at rest, but links often shareable without control
Availability management Automatic or flexible expiry None Manual and error-prone

How it works

1

Drag files into the upload area or select them from your device.

2

Wait for encryption and secure upload to our protected cloud.

3

Share the generated link: recipients can download immediately.

Frequently asked questions

How does AES-256 encryption work on MegaFile and why is it considered secure?
MegaFile uses AES-256 encryption to protect your files from the moment of upload, applying client-side protection before data leaves your device. This standard is widely recognized and adopted by government and financial organizations for its strong resistance to attacks, and is considered an industry benchmark for data security. Thanks to this approach, files remain encrypted at rest on the servers and protected in transit during exchange, drastically reducing the attack surface. Decryption happens only at the time of authorized download, so anyone without the proper credentials cannot access the content. In practice, using AES-256 and handling encryption from your browser or device ensures maximum confidentiality and real control over “who sees what,” making MegaFile a reliable solution for sensitive documents, professional projects, and shares that require a high level of privacy and integrity.
How do the download links generated by MegaFile keep my documents secure?
Each upload on MegaFile produces a unique link that is not publicly listed, designed to reduce the risk of accidental access or automated discovery attempts. If you upload as a non-registered user, files remain available for 14 days from upload—an ideal window for quick exchanges and time-boxed deliveries. With an account, you can instead customize the duration to your needs: keep files online longer, choose shorter expiries for maximum confidentiality, or delete them manually when no longer needed. Once expired, access is transparently cut off, limiting sharing over time and reducing uncontrolled circulation of the document.
How long do uploaded files remain available on MegaFile and can I change their duration?
If you upload as a non-registered user, files remain available for 14 days from upload—an ideal window for quick exchanges and time-boxed deliveries. With an account, you can instead customize the duration to your needs: keep files online longer, choose shorter expiries for maximum confidentiality, or delete them manually whenever you want. This flexibility lets you manage the lifecycle of documents on your own: quickly share temporary files or keep project materials available for as long as needed. If priorities change, you can step in at any time, extending or ending availability. In short, MegaFile gives you clear, controlled management of your content’s online presence, fitting both one-off needs and more continuous workflows.
Why use MegaFile instead of attaching large files to emails?
Email attachments often suffer from size limits, delivery issues (messages rejected or filtered), and poor traceability once forwarded to multiple recipients. With MegaFile you send a secure link pointing to an encrypted file, avoiding bloated inboxes and ensuring a more rapid, clean delivery experience. In this way, MegaFile minimizes errors, duplicates, and confusion between different versions of the same document, providing sharing that is more organized, secure, and professional than traditional attachments.
Is MegaFile GDPR-compliant? How is user privacy handled?
MegaFile is designed in line with GDPR principles, prioritizing data minimization and transparency. No mandatory registration is required, files are encrypted, and user behavior is not tracked for profiling. As a registered user you can always delete your files, exercising real control over the lifecycle of the content you share. The goal is to let you use the platform for exchanges that require confidentiality without accumulating unnecessary information. In this context, MegaFile becomes a tool that helps you operate in compliance with privacy, with clear settings and features aligned with data-protection best practices.
What are the differences between MegaFile and other cloud-sharing services like Google Drive or WeTransfer?
Unlike many generalist cloud services, MegaFile does not require mandatory registration to share, applies AES-256 encryption at upload, and—as a registered user—lets you manage the availability duration of files. This approach is ideal when you want a file transfer solution that is simple, fast, and privacy-centric, without the overhead typical of more complex ecosystems. Where some services focus on collaborative storage, MegaFile prioritizes secure sharing and time-bound access. In practice, if you want immediate control over who can download what and for how long, with client-side encryption and no unnecessary steps, MegaFile is a lean, reliable alternative to traditional solutions.
