rsync vs MEGA

Only the changed parts of files are synced. For instance, if a long log file increases by just a few lines of text, a small diff will be sent to and saved in the archive. Rsync also compresses data in transit.

SSH support allows sending files securely over the network by encrypting all communcation.

Many *nix systems bundle rsync so there's nothing to install. All you need to do is open up the terminal and start using rsync.

50 GB trial for new accounts after registering for a month, then 15 GB. There's also three upgrade plans, starting at 500GB and $110/yr. 15GB may not seem much, but Dropbox only offers 2GB for the free plan. This is better than Google Drive because Google Drive storage is shared with all the Google services you are using.

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.

They will never look through your files unless they ask for permission.
