User Case: How to Share Files on MEGA

MEGA is a file hosting service and cloud storage provided by MEGA Limited. It is primarily designed for web-based applications, but it also provides mobile applications for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS users. Therefore, users can not only share files or folders using the MEGA webpage, but also share them on the computer and mobile phone. 

Next, in order to give you a clearer understanding of how to share files in MEGA on each device, this article provides detailed steps.

How to Share Files on MEGA by Getting Link [Files or Folders]

MEGA allows you to upload files to MEGA (such as images, audio, video or any other document) and then share them with anyone. When you need to share these files, you can create URL links to files and folders in your MEGA account.
