    Ok, this is not about value etc. In terms of capacity and cost, I'm happy. However, one bit that's infuriating is logging in from my browser, Chrome.

    When I log in it can easily take 10-15 minutes to log in (the screen that says logging in and has the red bar counting up on the bottom of the browser window). Then, quite often, it will crash first time and then I have to reload, at which point it takes another 5-10 minutes to log in before I can access my files. However, quite often, it just point blank won't log in and keeps crashing after crash and means I can't access my files.

    Anybody else have this experience with it? Or got any solutions (that don;t include "go with someone else")?

    I have been using MEGA for years without those problems you explained. I am accessing it from FF. Let me try it on Chrome and I will report back to you.

    Edit: With Chrome, it took just 2 seconds requesting and decrypting.

    i use it as backend /backup archive place. they used to be much better and less greedy within the first year after they open, but lately they have introduced too many annoying restrictions and quotas (if you are in free mode)

    Try a different browser, clear cookies, etc. I do remember Mega having problems with Chrome and java but I don't have any issues.

    Disable "Automatically detect settings" in Internet options -> LAN Settings. Thats what I did (i use lan btw). I had the same problem with nothing stored on MEGA. try their app MEGASync also.

    Edit 1 : Also try : netsh winsock reset in cmd with admin rights. restart. try again.

    mega has a traffic limit, an alternative is pCloud, however it starts with only 10 GB free.
    But you can get more by referal or if you have the money you can buy an lifetime plan up to 2TB
