📦 version 1.10.3, in ubuntu jammy

💖 MEGADF(1) — the megatools manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, welcome to megadf, part of the Megatools Manual situation. this is the page that tells you how much cloud space you're working with. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

megadf — show total available, used, or free space in the cloud 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

megadf [--free|--total|--used] [--mb|--gb|-h]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

it shows you the available space, the used space, and the free space in the cloud, and it'll do it either in a machine-readable way or a human-readable way, your call bb. 🌈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --total — show only the total available space, which is free + used. math! 🔥
  • --free — show only the free space. the "how much room do i still have" number 🫶
  • --used — show only the used space. the "look what i did" number 💀
  • --human, -h — display file sizes in a human readable format. like, actual vibes instead of raw numbers ✨
  • --mb — show everything in MiB units 📏
  • --gb — show everything in GiB units 📏
  • -u <email>, --username <email> — your account username, which is your email 🍓
  • -p <password>, --password <password> — your account password 🔐
  • --no-ask-password — never ask for a password interactively. no pop-up prompt, no waiting, just no 🙈
  • --reload — reload the filesystem cache 🔄
  • --limit-speed <speed> — set the maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. this option overrides the config file settings, periodt. 0 means no limit at all, go feral. when you're using ParallelTransfers > 1, the upload speed limit gets applied to each transfer individually — so yeah, it multiplies, be aware 👀
  • --proxy <proxy> — use a proxy server to connect to mega.nz. this overrides config file settings too. more info lives in the libcurl documentation at https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html. some acceptable values are:
    • none : disable the 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
  • --config <path> — load configuration from a file 📂
  • --ignore-config-file — disable loading .megarc 🚫
  • --debug [<options>] — enable debugging for various aspects of how megatools does its thing. you can turn on multiple debugging options at once by separating them with commas (eg. --debug api,fs) 🐛

available options are:

  • http: dump HTTP request/response details (this one's your girl if you're debugging connection or proxy issues)
  • api: dump Mega.nz API calls
  • fs: dump the Mega.nz filesystem (ngl you may need --reload to actually get it to print something)
  • cache: dump cache contents
  • tman: dump transfer manager events
  • --version — show version information 🏷️

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

  • show overall human readable space usage information:
$ megadf -h
Total: 50.0 GiB
Used:  6.4 GiB
Free:  43.6 GiB
  • check free space from a script:
$ test `megadf --free --gb` -lt 1 && \
  echo "You have less than 1 GiB of available free space"

💀 KNOWN BUGS 💀

Megadf can't determine available space for premium accounts. yeah. it just can't. sorry bestie 😭
