Sharing MEGA: two first client for Android
Android Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Just yesterday, we met with the new file-sharing service MEGA. It offers cloud storage as an attractive opportunity that has the potential to seriously change the balance in its category, substantially surpassing Dropbox and Google Drive. There is only one serious obstacle for this: the absence of a full client for desktop and mobile platforms. However, if the creators of the service before hand not yet been reached, then the third-party developers through the API open, can already report the first success. Today we want to introduce you to just two mega-unofficial client for Android.
This alpha version for easy access to your online store MEGA. Despite such an early stage of development, the program is completely stable and contains a number of useful functions.
First of all, the app gives you access to your files in MEGA, as well as the ability to download them to your device. In addition, a very useful feature is rassharivaniya, through which you can send files from the MEGA in Gmail, Dropbox, Drive, and so on.
This client has a much more interesting look and provides a significant number of possible operations. After you enter your registration information you enter into your account, where you can not only to view and download files to the device, but on the contrary - to upload data from your phone or Tablet in the clouds.
In addition, we can manage our files and folders in The MEGA, including the creation of new folders and rename existing ones, delete, and move your files and so on.
As you can see in the screenshot, the file context menu allows you to not only share the file, but also to generate and send a secret way you want the link to download the file. And Mega for Android adds your item in the Share menu standard, so you can add files to his mega-hranililische from any application that supports this feature.
Thus, this client feature set represents almost ideal client for Android platform. Except for one "but." The program was made available a few days ago, and still contains a number of shortcomings. The most important of them - the client categorically refuses to see the files that are downloaded without his participation. Let us hope that this unfortunate mistake quickly eliminated and we get another convenient way to our free cloud gigabytes.
