About:
Megatools is a robust command-line client designed for interacting with the Mega.co.nz cloud storage service. It allows users to upload, download, and manage files directly from the terminal without requiring a GUI or a browser. The tool provides a simple and scriptable interface, making it ideal for automation and server-side file management tasks.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Support for uploading, downloading, and listing files
  • Resumable transfers for large files
  • No dependency on the official Mega client
Use Cases:
  • Automated server backups to Mega cloud storage
  • Scripted file distribution or retrieval from the command line
  • Managing cloud files on headless servers without a desktop environment
Alternatives:
  • rclone – rclone supports a vast number of cloud providers including Mega, offering more advanced sync options and features.
  • megasync – The official GUI client provides continuous background syncing but lacks the scriptability of the command-line interface.
