After the closure of the famous MegaUpload , the well-known Kim Schmitz , more popular by the nickname Kim Dotcom , decided to move forward with a storage system and data transfer in the cloud and created what we know today as Mega . A free portal that allows you to store information and download it on any computer on the planet.
Along with this portal, Kim also launched Megasync, an application that you can download both to your computer and other devices to synchronize your local data with your Mega account and make transfers easily. A good way to have backup copies of important information and have direct access to everything without complications. The usefulness of this binomial has led many users to ask not only how to have a Mega account , but also how to create a free Megasync account .
Both go hand in hand, and their functionalities are something impossible to ignore, much less in the current times. Therefore, we will explain what you have to do to take advantage of this creation that has taken over from the already extinct Megaupload to improve it completely and make things easier for us in downloading files and documents from the internet.

With this simple guide that we leave below, you will know not only how to create an account and use Megasync , you will also have the opportunity to know all the Premium plans Mega offers , its rates, its services and how to choose the one you want to have. Although optional, they are a very good complement to the general offer proposed by this cloud upload and download storage mechanism.
To talk about the registration of a new account in Mega step by step , let’s focus on the PC version, more specifically on the Windows . The most common environment to access it is with this combination and, although it can also be done from iOS or Android , the similarities of the procedure with respect to these systems are many, allowing to follow almost the same steps.
If you want to register a new Mega account, you must follow these steps:
1 – Enter Mega’s website
With your PC, open your usual web browser (or whatever you have installed) and type the URL of the Mega web portal in the address bar at the top: https : //mega.nz . Another option is to write “ Mega.nz ” on Google and access the result that leads to this same page.
2 – Start with account creation
Now, once inside the Mega homepage , you have to start the process of registering a new account. As you will see below, it is tremendously simple, but before you dive into it, you have to click on the “Create Account” button that is available in the upper right.
3 – Fill in your details
Within the free account creation menu , you will find a short form. It does not ask for much data, although it is important that they be filled in properly. You must enter both your name and your surnames and, in addition, an email account that will be linked and a password to be written twice to confirm its accuracy .
It is very important that do not reveal the password to anyone and that, of course, the e-mail entered is real and you can access it. It should also be noted that if you do not accept Mega’s terms of service, you will not be able to create your account.
4 – Confirm your identity
Done the previous step, a pop-up window will notify you that an email has been sent to your email account to confirm the veracity of your identity. Go to your e-mail, open the email you just received (if you are in Gmail remember that it can be in the tab “ Notifications “) and click on the button “Verify my mail electronic ”. Another point to keep in mind is that sometimes these types of verification emails end up in the Spam tray , so don’t forget to check it, maybe it’s there.
5 – End the procedure
Only the last step remains. After clicking on the button indicated above, the browser will take you back to the Mega website to enter both your email address and your password. Type both and click on “ Confirm your account ” to have it ready. Now you can choose the type of account you want , but we’ll talk about that next.
