[ubuntu-za] Storage

[Robin Bownes]

I've also been using Mega for many years now. Their free 50GB is 
awesome, and although I've read some articles that cast doubt on the 
potential security, etc, I've not had, nor heard of any problems over 
the years. I didn't mention it earlier because it doesn't work with 
OpenCloud or OwnCloud - as far as I know. Big pluses for me, are that it 
is multiplatform across Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iPhone, etc., 
which means that I can easily access my files from my PC, phone, tablet 
- or in an emergency, someone else's device.
