Mega (service)

Mega (stylised as MEGA) is a file hosting service offered by Mega Cloud Services Limited, a company based in Auckland, New Zealand, and owned by Hong Kong-based Cloud Tech Services Limited. The service is offered through web-based apps. MEGA mobile apps are also available for Android and iOS. The website and service was launched on 19 January 2013, by Kim Dotcom, who had founded the now-defunct service Megaupload, which was seized by the United States government in 2012. However, in 2015 Kim Dotcom had distanced himself from the service and stated that the New Zealand government had seized the shares of a Chinese investor and has control of the site. Mega Limited responded that the authorities have not interfered with its operations.
