Der wahre Unterschied
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
iCloud stands out with Seamless sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac and iCloud Drive with Finder and Files app integration. MEGA counters with End-to-end encryption by default and Generous free storage.
