MEGA provides user-controlled encrypted cloud storage that’s accessed with web browsers and dedicated apps for mobile devices. Unlike other cloud storage providers, your data is encrypted and decrypted by your client devices only and never by us. Upload files from your smartphone or tablet, then search, download, stream, view, share, rename or delete them from any device, anywhere. Share folders with your contacts and see their updates in real time. You can automatically sync your local data with your Cloud drive, ensuring your important files are always safe and accessible across all your devices. With our sync functionality, you can back up any local folder on your device to MEGA effortlessly. Additionally, our backup feature allows you to set up a one-way sync by selecting specific folders to back up seamlessly. MEGA’s strong and secure end-to-end encryption means we cannot access or reset your password. You MUST remember the password and make sure to back up your account recovery key. Losing your password and the account recovery key will result in lost access to your files. Enjoy the security and privacy of encrypted one-on-one and group chats and meetings. Our zero-knowledge encryption means that your messages, audio and video calls are safe, secure, and private. Collaborate seamlessly with your team members or friends and family with direct integration with our Cloud drive for sending and receiving encrypted files. MEGA offers generous free storage for all registered users. You can get even more free storage in 5 GB increments through our MEGA Achievements Programme. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods of the same duration at the same price as the initial period chosen. To manage your subscriptions, simply tap on the Play Store icon on your device, sign in with your Google ID (if you haven’t already done so), then tap on the MEGA app. All MEGA client-side application code is published on GitHub, for transparency. The code of our Android mobile app is located at: https://github.com/meganz/android App permissions (optional): Contacts: MEGA accesses your contacts so you can add them from your device. Microphone: MEGA accesses your microphone when you capture a video, make a call or record voice messages in the app. Camera: MEGA accesses your camera when you capture a video or photo, or make a call in the app. Nearby devices: MEGA accesses nearby devices so you can use Bluetooth devices to join calls in the app. Notifications: MEGA sends notifications about chat messages, calls, transfer progress, contact requests, or incoming shares from other users. Media (photos, videos, music and audio): MEGA accesses your media files when you upload, share through chat and when camera uploads is enabled. Location: MEGA accesses your location when you share it with your contacts in chat. MEGA’s Terms of Service: https://mega.io/terms Privacy and Data Policy: https://mega.io/privacy

# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with 3D Tactile)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #fff4f3;
  --foreground: #07111f;
  --muted-foreground: #55565c;
  --accent: #e51b12;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~82%) · Surface #FFF4F3 (~6%) · Text #07111F (~9%) · Muted Text #55565C (~2%) · Accent #E51B12 (~1%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: 3D Render / Tactile Object
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and 3d render / tactile object visuals.

## Avoid

- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
