# login using a temporary anonymous account
m = mega.login()

Get user details

details = m.get_user()

Get account balance (Pro accounts only)

balance = m.get_balance()

Get account disk quota

quota = m.get_quota()

Get account storage space

# specify unit output kilo, mega, gig, else bytes will output
space = m.get_storage_space(kilo=True)

Get account files

files = m.get_files()

Upload a file, and get its public link

file = m.upload('myfile.doc')
m.get_upload_link(file)
# see mega.py for destination and filename options

Export a file or folder

public_exported_web_link = m.export('myfile.doc')
public_exported_web_link = m.export('my_mega_folder/my_sub_folder_to_share')
# e.g. https://mega.nz/#F!WlVl1CbZ!M3wmhwZDENMNUJoBsdzFng
