Cannot login with specific user on MEGA

Suspected Bug
1

Hi,

I love using rclone, but recently I stumbled across weird behavior when I set up a new account on MEGA. Unfortunately, I cannot login with that account. I even deleted the account and set it up again just so to make sure I’m not missing something there. A different account works flawlessly.

So here is what I receive when trying to ls the storge.

Does anyone have an idea about what I can do? There are no shared folders in this account, and the username is just a plain address with nothing special to it. I tried to vary different passwords, none seem to work either.

Try using v1.44 - there was a bug in the logins fixed there.

Hi, I’ve now updated to v1.44.

$ rclone --version
rclone v1.44
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.10.4

Still, I get the same error message.

I’d give you the credentials for you to further investigate this if you want since I would really like to keep this account.

:frowning:

You could dm me with them or email them to me at nick@craig-wood.com

I’m a bit stumped with this problem but cross fingers!

I sent you the credentials per mail.

@ncw i have the same error with all new accouns of mega, im using rclone 1.45 Ubuntu 16.04.
Do you think mega is blocking the access to the files through rclone?

I made an issue about this here:

https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/2771

The problem is that mega has changed the login procedure for new accounts and the mega library needs updating.

I haven’t had time to look into it yet - any help appreciated!

Unfortunately the “documentation” is their giant C++ SDK.

I’ve posted a fix for this issue here: https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/2771

Please give it a go!

Yes, is fixed with the new version
