It's made me realise that I haven't got a clue as to the similar technicalities being used by Sugar Sync, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive etc. |

One presumes that the New Zealand Government has not found fault with the use of the '.nz' or else the site wouldn't be able to use it; nor with other aspects of the new business under it's aegis. |

Cool, that works (how come?). Not that I plan to sign up or anything, just wanted to be nosy. Also, how does the way its hosted compare to sites like Dropbox etc?

It's 50Gb you get with Mega. I might sign up for it and use it for storing photos. An extra back-up is always handy.

Anyone want to speculate what this means: (I'm referring in particular why the US is mentioned)

As Kim Schmitz has some kind of "history": would you trust him any files/data that are important for you? Or don't you have any considerations in this direction?

It seemed fast until I tried to upload something. Tried a putting up a 6 MB file as an experiment - it got to 9% and seems to have stopped.
