I just added a new sync and the local folder is located on a USB external hard disk. What will happen when I disconnect the hard disk from the computer? Will Mega keep the files in the cloud?

Based on my experiences with Megasync for Mac 1.0.39:

  1. When you disconnect the drive: Megasync will stop syncing folders that were on that drive. No files are removed from the local machine or from the cloud.
  2. When the drive is connected again: Megasync will not enable syncing automatically. You'll have to manually enable syncing of folders on the external disk.

One annoyance I discovered was that Megasync might lock your external drive and prevent ejecting of that drive. In this case a manual disabling of sync is not needed.

I did not find any documentation regarding this matter from Mega website. Therefore I cannot confirm that my experiences apply to other users.
