Solution 3: Use Another Browser

If none of the above solutions work, then try changing the browser you are using. It is possible that this bug is only for this one particular browser and you may not face it in another browser.

Try using Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and see if it fixes this issue.

Solution 4: Check The Space In Your Hard Disk

When you are downloading something using internet browsers, they are likely to be saved in the default Downloads folder. This default Downloads folder take up space in the system drive, and having it filled can even make the  Downloads folder become unresponsive. So, if your system drive doesn’t have the space to save the downloaded file, then it can trigger this error. Check whether this is so and if yes, clear up space for the downloading file.

Solution 5: Use The MegaDownloader App

The best way to download from Mega is to use the MegaDownloader app, which is dedicated to this purpose. When you are downloading large files from Mega, it is always best to avoid internet browsers in order to prevent the Mega browser storage full error. In these situations, using MegaDownloader is the best way.

You can get the Mega Downloader from its official website. This app is free to use and has a clean UI that is easily navigable.
