If OneDrive, DropBox and Google Drive’s privacy policies make you a bit nervous you would be happy to know that privacy advocate MEGA’s cloud storage and file sharing app is now available in the Microsoft Store, after being in open beta for some months.

The MEGA Privacy app offers you 50 GB free storage space and unlike other cloud storage providers, your data is encrypted and decrypted by your client devices only and never by the company itself, which means they never know what your online archive contains.

Like other cloud storage services they let you upload your files from your smartphone or tablet, then search, store, download, stream, view, share, rename or delete your files anytime, from any device, anywhere. You can also share folders with your contacts and see their updates in real time.

Because everything is encrypted with your own personal key the company can not reset your password, and you will lose access to all your data if you lose it, which is the hallmark of an actual secure service.
