The Problem: MEGA Doesn't Support Online Extraction
If you want to unzip a file from MEGA, you normally have to download it first, extract it on your computer, and then re-upload the extracted files back to MEGA. This works for a few small files, but when your ZIP contains thousands of files or is several gigabytes, it becomes a slow, bandwidth-heavy, and frustrating process.
Additionally, downloading large archives from MEGA can trigger MEGA's transfer quota limits, making the process even more painful.
The Solution: RiceDrive Cloud ZIP Extractor
In 2026, RiceDrive introduced its Cloud ZIP Extractor feature, allowing you to extract compressed files directly from your cloud storage — no downloads needed. With just a few clicks, you can:
- Extract ZIP, RAR, 7Z, and TAR files from MEGA
- Save extracted files to MEGA, Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive
- Handle archives up to 30GB in size
- Process thousands of files in minutes
