What is megatools
Megatools is a collection of programs for accessing Mega service from a command line of your desktop or server. Megatools allow you to copy individual files as well as entire directory trees to and from the cloud. You can also perform streaming downloads for example to preview videos and audio files, without needing to download the entire file. You can register an account using a “megareg” tool, with the benefit of having true control of your encryption keys.
