|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[Mega](https://mega.nz/) is a cloud storage and file hosting service
|
|
known for its security feature where all files are encrypted locally
|
|
before they are uploaded. This prevents anyone (including employees of
|
|
Mega) from accessing the files without knowledge of the key used for
|
|
encryption.
|
|
|
|
This is an rclone backend for Mega which supports the file transfer
|
|
features of Mega using the same client side encryption.
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
Paths may be as deep as required, eg `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
No remotes found - make a new one
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
s) Set configuration password
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
n/s/q> n
|
|
name> remote
|
|
Type of storage to configure.
|
|
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
|
|
1 / Alias for an existing remote
|
|
\ "alias"
|
|
[snip]
|
|
14 / Mega
|
|
\ "mega"
|
|
[snip]
|
|
23 / http Connection
|
|
\ "http"
|
|
Storage> mega
|
|
User name
|
|
user> you@example.com
|
|
Password.
|
|
y) Yes type in my own password
|
|
g) Generate random password
|
|
n) No leave this optional password blank
|
|
y/g/n> y
|
|
Enter the password:
|
|
password:
|
|
Confirm the password:
|
|
password:
|
|
Remote config
|
|
--------------------
|
|
[remote]
|
|
type = mega
|
|
user = you@example.com
|
|
pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
|
|
--------------------
|
|
y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** The encryption keys need to have been already generated after a regular login
|
|
via the browser, otherwise attempting to use the credentials in `rclone` will fail.
|
|
|
|
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your Mega
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in your Mega
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to an Mega directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time and hashes ###
|
|
|
|
Mega does not support modification times or hashes yet.
|
|
|
|
### Duplicated files ###
|
|
|
|
Mega can have two files with exactly the same name and path (unlike a
|
|
normal file system).
|
|
|
|
Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
|
|
messages in the log about duplicates.
|
|
|
|
Use `rclone dedupe` to fix duplicated files.
|
|
|
|
<!--- autogenerated options start - DO NOT EDIT, instead edit fs.RegInfo in backend/mega/mega.go then run make backenddocs -->
|
|
### Standard Options
|
|
|
|
Here are the standard options specific to mega (Mega).
|
|
|
|
#### --mega-user
|
|
|
|
User name
|
|
|
|
- Config: user
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_MEGA_USER
|
|
- Type: string
|
|
- Default: ""
|
|
|
|
#### --mega-pass
|
|
|
|
Password.
|
|
|
|
- Config: pass
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_MEGA_PASS
|
|
- Type: string
|
|
- Default: ""
|
|
|
|
### Advanced Options
|
|
|
|
Here are the advanced options specific to mega (Mega).
|
|
|
|
#### --mega-debug
|
|
|
|
Output more debug from Mega.
|
|
|
|
If this flag is set (along with -vv) it will print further debugging
|
|
information from the mega backend.
|
|
|
|
- Config: debug
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_MEGA_DEBUG
|
|
- Type: bool
|
|
- Default: false
|
|
|
|
#### --mega-hard-delete
|
|
|
|
Delete files permanently rather than putting them into the trash.
|
|
|
|
Normally the mega backend will put all deletions into the trash rather
|
|
than permanently deleting them. If you specify this then rclone will
|
|
permanently delete objects instead.
|
|
|
|
- Config: hard_delete
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_MEGA_HARD_DELETE
|
|
- Type: bool
|
|
- Default: false
|
|
|
|
<!--- autogenerated options stop -->
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
This backend uses the [go-mega go library](https://github.com/t3rm1n4l/go-mega) which is an opensource
|
|
go library implementing the Mega API. There doesn't appear to be any
|
|
documentation for the mega protocol beyond the [mega C++ SDK](https://github.com/meganz/sdk) source code
|
|
so there are likely quite a few errors still remaining in this library.
|
|
|
|
Mega allows duplicate files which may confuse rclone.
