MEGA Pro Flexi review

MEGA Pro Flexi is MEGA's answer to unlimited storage: instead of a cap, you pay a base fee for 3 TB of storage and 3 TB of transfer, then pay per extra terabyte for whichever of storage or transfer you use more. MEGA describes it with the line get unlimited storage and pay as you grow, and says it offers its cheapest price per TB for people who want to store more than 20 TB, which is where its fixed Pro plans stop. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, and paid plans add MEGA VPN, the MEGA Pass password manager and encrypted chat and meetings with no time limit. The model suits people whose archive keeps growing and who would rather not migrate between plan tiers. The downsides are cost predictability, since a busy month of sharing can raise the bill through the transfer quota, and currency: MEGA states it charges in euros for all transactions, so we have marked the USD price as pending.
