How to get automatic MEGA folder sync, photo backup and cloud-to-cloud transfers on Android, with MEGA’s 20 GB free tier at the centre
MEGA has one of the most generous free plans of any mainstream cloud: 20 GB , end-to-end encrypted. That makes it a natural home for phone photos, WhatsApp media and documents. The question most Android users eventually ask is: how do I keep my phone and MEGA in sync automatically, alongside everything else I already have in Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox?
This guide shows how QuestSync , an Android cloud sync app, turns MEGA into a fully scheduled sync target, and how it lets you use MEGA together with all your other clouds in one place.
Why use a separate sync app with MEGA?
- One app for every cloud. Most people have MEGA and Google Drive and OneDrive. Managing each in its own app means separate settings, separate schedules and no way to move files between them.
- Cloud-to-cloud transfers. Moving a folder from Google Drive or Dropbox into MEGA normally means downloading everything first. QuestSync does it straight from the phone.
- Several MEGA accounts side by side. A personal MEGA and a family member’s MEGA can both be connected, each with its own jobs.
- Flexible modes and filters for any folder on the phone, not just the camera.
Set up automatic MEGA sync on Android
- Install QuestSync from Google Play.
- Tap Add a cloud → MEGA and sign in with your MEGA email and password. They’re stored encrypted on your phone only.
- Tap New transfer : from This phone → DCIM/Camera (or any folder) to a MEGA folder.
- Choose Back up , Mirror , Two-way sync or Move.
- Under When , pick a schedule and switch on Wi-Fi only and While charging.
- Tap Start. Later runs only send new and changed files.
What you can do with MEGA in QuestSync
Automatic photo and gallery backup to MEGA
Camera, Screenshots, WhatsApp images and videos: back them up to MEGA on a schedule. With 20 GB free, MEGA is a great first destination for your gallery.
Two-way folder sync
Keep a phone folder and a MEGA folder identical. Edit a file on your laptop through MEGA’s desktop app and it shows up on your phone, and the other way round.
Mirror and Move
Mirror makes MEGA an exact copy of a phone folder. Move uploads to MEGA and then frees the space on your phone, ideal for old videos.
Transfer between MEGA and any other cloud
Copy Google Drive to MEGA, MEGA to OneDrive, Dropbox to MEGA, or MEGA to an encrypted cloud like Internxt or Proton Drive, all from the phone.
Use MEGA as part of 108+ GB of free storage
MEGA’s 20 GB plus Google Drive’s 15 GB, pCloud, Box, Koofr and Backblaze B2 at 10 GB each, and OneDrive, iCloud Drive, Proton Drive and others at 5 GB each adds up to over 108 GB. Add a few accounts and many households pass 300 GB. QuestSync lets you spread backups across all of it.
Filters, schedules and reliability
Back up only photos or only videos, only large files or only files older than a date. Jobs survive reboots and resume after network drops.
