So why would any sane person try his luck with this sketchy company versus Dropbox, which provides same functionality for free already?


Dropbox has already demonstrated that they play it fast and loose with user privacy issues. While I use Dropbox for many things, and admire what they've built, we'd do well to be more realistic about it around here.


I appreciate your skepticism towards DropBox, but what makes you think that Mega is going to be the host-proof sharing nirvana?

I'm willing to bet that their initial client will be susceptible to MITB and various key leakages for the first year or two.


Nothing makes me think "Mega is going to be the host-proof sharing nirvana," because I don't.

Please, try to respond what people actually say.
