Kim Dotcom's cloud storage service,
Mega, has launched a new iPhone app,
four months after launching an
Android app for the service.
The Mega iPhone app allows users of
the service to browse and manage
their Mega cloud storage account and
perform fast file transfers.
It also lets users preview and stream
supported document and file formats,
export and send file and folder links,
and also import file links into the
users' Mega account.
Mega has said that it will soon
introduce a Photo sync feature and
bring support for the iPad.
The Mega app for iPhone also features
in-app purchases, allowing users to
upgrade their storage space and
bandwidth quota by subscribing to
Mega Pro with a monthly or yearly
subscription.
The app offers a $10.99 per month
subscription and a $119.99 per year
subscription. The Pro subscription gives
500GB of storage space and 1TB of
bandwidth per month. The subscriptions
are renewed automatically for
successive subscription periods of the
same duration and at the same price as
the initial period chosen, if users opt
for them.
Users can also switch off automatic
renewal of their Mega Pro subscription,
24 hours before their next subscription
payment is due via their iTunes account
settings page.
The Mega app for iPhone is available
for download through the App Store.
Mega had released (read re-launched)
an Android app in July. It was
essentially a third-party client which
was acquired by the file-sharing
service and repackaged as an official
app. It also supports automatic picture
uploads through the phone's camera.
The company had said that it's also
developing a Windows version of the app
for syncing files with Windows PCs.
Mega competes with the likes of
services such as Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive
and Google Drive. It offers 50GB of
free cloud storage space and claims
that it's more secure.
