A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
MEGA stands out with Generous free storage and Secure chat and video calls. Proton Drive counters with Zero-access encryption — even Proton cannot read your files and Built-in photo backup from mobile.
MEGA's Achilles heel: reputation baggage from the megaupload era — some businesses won’t touch it for compliance reasons. Proton Drive's: storage amounts are small for the price — 200gb for $4/mo when google gives you 100gb for $2/mo. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value generous free storage and usuários que querem o, go with MEGA. If usuários privacy-first que já matters more, Proton Drive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
