Pros
Pro Easy to use
Just drag and drop files in the browser window, then create a link for sharing. You will need an account to create a link. To streamline the process for new users you can start uploading as soon as you access the website and create an account while it's uploading.
Cons
Con Account recovery
The user can only recover his/her account with a generated "decryption key" (given after creating an account for the first time). Because of this encryption, customer support cannot engage and decrypt the account locked out from.
Con Higher than normal chance of a forced service shutdown
Mega has a higher than normal chance of having legal troubles due its founders past, thus there's a higher than normal chance that the service may be shut down with all your files in it and no way to retrieve them.
