MEGA Folders – Intro, Downloading File/Folders, Finding Process, And More

Introduction

To speed up downloads, decrease loading times, and ensure security, you could add MEGA to your browser by using the extension. This plugin will record any MEGA URL and retain local content.

The executable client code doesn’t load from MEGA through TLS/SSL; instead, it runs straight from the user’s local system. Thus, updates to browser extensions are private.
