Great to hear an alternative story (i.e. a non-exit or IPO story) out of Silicon Valley.

mega.nz does not have the great desktop/device UI that dropbox has, and also Kim Dotcom has stated it can no longer be trusted after the company was seized by the New Zealand Government. But it offers 50GB to any new account. How do they manage to do this? And what is stopping someone from just registering a bunch of accounts on mega.nz and using that as their primary cloud backup? (maybe with the addition of encfs or something)
