For that to work with online storage like mega.co.nz, without sharing the actual password with the hoster, one would have to be able to modify the header of the encrypted content without having to reupload everything again. |
Alexander are you saying that the individual user data is therefore very secure?
Or are you saying that the site owner could actually identify ways to get at the data stored?
Or neither, lol.
Or is the question: how does one share data with others?
So, if someone opens an account, loads their data and then wants to share it with others then that is possible by doing?
I know for example, that I've used data share sites to download upgraded Blackberry phone software that wasn't available in my country at that stage, but was officially available in another country. And to test beta software.
So, is that sort of sharing available using Mega?
Edit:
I think I've answered my own question below.
