#### Easy automated syncing between your computers and your MEGA Cloud Drive

Easy automated syncing and backup between your computers and your MEGA cloud drive.

MEGA Desktop is an installable application that synchronises folders between your computer and your MEGA Cloud Drive. All files and subfolders will be replicated in both directions. Changes that you make on your device will also be made on the MEGA Cloud Drive. Similarly, changes made in your MEGA Cloud Drive (such as renaming, moving and deleting) will also be made to the synced folders on your device.

Unofficial build of MEGA Desktop App. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by MEGA Limited.

**IMPORTANT**: TLDR, you need to run `snap connect lunacd-megasync:mega-store` after installing in order for this app to launch.

`mega-store` interface exposes `$HOME/.local/share/data/Mega Limited/MEGAsync` to this snap, which is used for MEGAsync to preserve state and to expose a socket to communicate with file manager extensions. Due to the third-party nature of this snap, this interface cannot be auto-connected: <https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/auto-connection-request-for-personal-files-on-lunacd-megasync/52374/3>.

**IMPORTANT**: This snap is impacted by a snapd bug and it is fixed in snapd 2.78. Make sure `snap version` shows 2.78+ before attempting to use this snap.
