## Description

Megabasterd is a cross-platform MEGA cloud storage client designed for downloading, uploading, and streaming files from MEGA accounts. It functions as both a file transfer tool and a media streamer, enabling the movement of data between local machines and cloud storage.

The tool allows for remote media streaming, which lets users play media files stored in the cloud directly without requiring a full download to the local disk. 

The project provides comprehensive cloud storage management, covering local-to-cloud uploads and cloud-to-local downloads across multiple operating systems.
