Safari under iOS uses RAM and has a limit of approximately 100 MB. If you prefer to use the mobile web browser, please be aware of the following limitations.Ĭhrome on Android is actually equipped with the FileSystem API, and as such can write data directly to your device storage (provided you have sufficient free space). Unfortunately, mobile web browsers are less friendly towards E2EE file access and as such, we strongly recommend you to install the MEGA mobile app, which will integrate smoothly with your mobile web browser (file and folder links will automatically open the app), provide you with native file transfer power and also comes with numerous other powerful cloud storage features, such as camera uploads. It also comes with various other benefits, including sync & backup features. You can overcome these browser limitations by installing the MEGA Desktop App, which securely talks to the MEGA Webclient for a great user experience. You can upload folders using Firefox if you have also installed our browser extension. To upload a folder structure through a web browser, you need to use Google Chrome or one of its derivatives (such as Edge, Opera), as Firefox and Safari do not offer this functionality. Alternatively, you can use MEGAsync to download multi-level folder trees. No browser currently supports the creation of download sub-folders, but you can download any folder tree as a ZIP file using the context menu (right-click) and unpack it in the desired target location. Safari is also downloading via RAM with a 2 GB limit and has various other limitations ( Apple, please fix them). We recommend using a Chromium-based browser, such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Opera, because they support the FileSystem API, which allows MEGA to download, decrypt and write the file straight to your disk (provided you’ve granted the required permission and have sufficient space).įor users who prefer using Firefox, there is no such joy: The lack of support for the FileSystem API means that the entirety of the downloaded file has to be held in a RAM buffer before it gets written to disk, which currently limits its size to 1 GB on 32 bit systems and 6 GB on 64-bit systems with sufficient physical memory. Instead, they have to be fetched, decrypted and written to disk using elaborate JavaScript code.įortunately, browser technology has come a long way since we launched in 2013, but some limitations remain. Because MEGA is end-to-end encrypted, the decryption of your data cannot be performed by our servers – they simply do not have the keys that your files are encrypted with! Decryption falls to the browser, which means that the files that you are downloading cannot use its standard download manager.
