How to sync MEGA on Raspbian

MEGA is a cloud storage provider that can be used to store files and sync them across multiple devices. MEGA has a fully featured commandline client and daemon for Linux distributions, including Raspbian.

• Raspbian client can be downloaded here.

• Install packages required by the MEGA client:

$ sudo apt install libc-ares2 libcrypto++6

• Install the downloaded .deb file:

$ sudo dpkg -i megacmd-Raspbian_9.0_armhf.deb

• To login into your MEGA service:

$ mega-login login your-login your-password

• To list files and directories on your MEGA drive in the cloud:

$ mega-ls /

• To sync a folder on MEGA to your local storage, use this command:

$ mega-exec sync /path/on/local/system /path/on/mega

This passes the command to the mega service running in the background and you get your shell back. Paths on your MEGA drive begin with / as the root directory.
