Sync Mega to Wasabi — Cloud Backup with RcloneView

May 8, 2026 · 3 min read

Tech Writer

Move your Mega files to Wasabi's cost-effective S3-compatible storage in a single job — with progress monitoring, checksum verification, and zero CLI required.

Mega offers end-to-end encrypted storage with generous free tiers, making it popular for personal and sensitive data. Wasabi provides S3-compatible object storage with high durability and predictable pricing, making it ideal for archiving and backup. Syncing from Mega to Wasabi gives you an unencrypted (or separately encrypted) backup copy on an S3-compatible platform — accessible by developer tooling, CDN integrations, and other services. RcloneView handles both providers natively.

Setting Up Mega and Wasabi in RcloneView

For Mega, go to Remote tab → New Remote, select Mega, and enter your Mega email and password. Note that Mega requires the actual account password (not an API key), and if you have two-factor authentication enabled on your Mega account, you'll be prompted for the TOTP code during setup.

For Wasabi, select Amazon S3 as the provider type and choose Wasabi as the S3 sub-provider. Enter your Wasabi Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and select the appropriate region endpoint. Once both remotes are saved, open them in the dual-pane explorer to confirm you can browse both storage systems.

Running the Mega to Wasabi Sync

In the Home tab, click Sync to open the job wizard. Set your Mega folder as the source and the Wasabi bucket (or a specific prefix path within it) as the destination. In the Advanced Settings step, enable Checksum for hash-based file integrity verification. Mega uses its own hash format, but rclone handles the translation when comparing with Wasabi's MD5/SHA256 checksums.

Mega has API rate limits that can throttle transfers, especially for free accounts. If you see transfer errors or slowdowns, reduce the number of concurrent file transfers to 2 in the Advanced Settings. For large archives (50GB+), plan to run the initial migration over several sessions.

Verifying the Migration with Folder Compare

After the sync completes, use RcloneView's Folder Compare to verify that the Mega source and Wasabi destination match. Open both in the compare view and filter to show only files that exist on one side but not the other, or files with size differences. A clean compare result (no mismatches) confirms your data migrated successfully.

For ongoing backup — keeping Wasabi in sync with Mega as you add new files — schedule the sync job to run weekly or monthly with a PLUS license. Only changed or new files are transferred in subsequent runs.
