Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom launched a new file-sharing website on Sunday. Megaupload, which Dotcom started in 2005, was one of the most popular sites on the web until US prosecutors shut it down, accusing Dotcom and several company officials of facilitating millions of illegal downloads.

It offers 50 gigabytes of free storage, much more than similar sites such as Dropbox and Google Drive, and features a drag-and-drop upload tool. The key difference is an encryption and decryption feature for data transfers that Dotcom says will protect him from the legal drama that has entangled Megaupload and threatened to put him behind bars. The decryption keys for uploaded files are held by the users, not Mega, which means the company can’t see what’s in the files being shared. Website link : http://Mega.co.nz
