1. NAME

megatools reg - Register new Mega.nz account

2. SYNOPSIS

megatools reg [--scripted] --register --email <email> --name <realname> --password <password>
megatools reg [--scripted] --verify <state> <link>

3. DESCRIPTION

Registers new Mega.nz account. Registration is split into two steps:

  1. --register: Creates a new non-verified account
  2. --verify: Verifies account with the link that was sent to <email>

See example of registration below.

4. OPTIONS

--register
Create new non-verified account.
--verify <state> <link>
Verify account previously created by megatools reg --register. You need to pass <state> that was returned from megatools reg --register and a verification link from the email that was sent to <email>.
--email <email>

Email serves as your new account username, that you’ll be using to sign in.

NOTES: Beware that ATM, email format is not validated by megatools.

--name <realname>
Your real (or fake) name.
--password <password>
Plaintext password. No strength checking is done, so make sure you pick a strong password yourself.
--scripted
After registration, print the command that can be used to finish the registration in a format suitable for scripting purposes.
--limit-speed <speed>
Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. This option overrides config file settings. 0 means no limit. When using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each transfer individually.
--proxy <proxy>

Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config file settings. More information can be found in libcurl documentation at https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html. Some acceptable values are:

  • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
  • socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
  • socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS handled by the proxy
--netif <ifname|ip>
Network interface or local IP address used for outgoing connections. You have to specify IP address bound to some of your local network interfaces, when specifying an IP address.
--ip-proto <proto>
Which IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4, v6, or any). This is just an advisory option. Megatools will resolve mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based on the stated preference.
--config <path>
Load configuration from a file
--ignore-config-file
Disable loading .megarc
--debug [<options>]

Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools operation. You may enable multiple debugging options separated by commas. (eg. --debug api,fs)

Available options are:

  • http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug connection/proxy issues)
  • api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
  • fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to actually print something)
  • cache: Dump cache contents
  • tman: Dump transfer manager events
--version
Show version information

5. EXAMPLE

First create an non-verified account:

$ megatools reg --register --email your@email.com --name "Your Name" --password "Your Password"

Registration email was sent to test@megous.com. To complete registration, you must run:

  megatools reg --verify vbFFFv7AFM25etzkFXLs9A==:Z7FFbgAAAAAAAAAArL33eA==:inEONh3tmwY @LINK@

(Where @LINK@ is registration link from the 'MEGA Signup' email)

Now wait for a verification mail and run the command as asked:

$ megatools reg --verify vbFFFv7AFM25etzkFXLs9A==:Z7FFbgAAAAAAAAAArL33eA==:inEONh3tmwY \
    'https://mega.nz/#confirmciyfWXRGFNcM...'
