Does Megaupload still work or is there an alternative?

No, Megaupload shut down years ago, I think it was back in 2012 due to legal issues. Nowadays most people use Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive to share work files, which are way more reliable and secure. What kind of files do you need them for and how often are we talking about sharing, because depending on that maybe something different would work better for you?

Forget about looking for Megaupload on the internet because there are tons of fake sites using that name to scam people. For sharing large files with colleagues, Google Drive works fine if it's with people you trust, but if you need something more secure for work in 2026 I'd say use Tresorit or Sync.com because they encrypt everything end-to-end. Most of my colleagues use that precisely because we don't want just anyone seeing our files.

I switched to Google Drive years ago and honestly it works amazingly for work, especially if you share entire folders with your team! At my design studio we use it constantly to pass files for big projects, moodboards, color palettes, everything! There's also Dropbox which is super reliable although it has a free storage limit, but anyway, if you need something more robust and simple OneDrive isn't bad either. The important thing is that you avoid those fake "Megaupload" sites that pop up around because they're straight up scams!

Megaupload definitely doesn't exist anymore since 2012, so there's not much to look for there. What I'll tell you is that for working with colleagues, it really depends on what kind of files you keep and how much space you need. In all these years as a welder, I haven't used much for sharing large files, but when I needed to send blueprints and photos of jobs to clients, I ended up using the same thing most people do: Google Drive or Dropbox.

The thing is, those traditional services work well if all your coworkers have an account and are willing to use them. Google Drive gives you quite a bit of free space and integrates right away with Gmail if you're already using it. Dropbox is a bit heavier to install but some people prefer it because it works more like a folder on your computer. OneDrive is also there if you already have Office 365 or a Microsoft account. The advantage is they're secure, data syncs automatically, and you don't have to go around looking for fake links that only do one thing - infect you with malware.

If the volume is really large and you want something without so much hassle, some places use WeTransfer which is super simple: you upload the file, enter an email and that's it. You don't need an account or anything. But for sharing long-term with your work team, Drive or Dropbox are your best bets. Try whatever's most comfortable for you and your coworkers, because that's what matters in the end.
