What version did you select ? Zorin OS 16 is based on ubuntu 20.04. Make sure to select that one.

Welcome to the community.

You may want to install synaptic. sudo apt install -y synaptic

Open it, search mega and when you select it the dependancies should auto select for install. Install and enjoy.

I also had a problem with Mega desktop app a few days ago.

Mega upload cannot see any files

For a change I now need to ask for a help from the fellow forum members. I tried to upload files to Mega but it could only see folders not files. Does anyone have the same problem? I made sure that I have the latest Mega and Nautilus integration apps I downloaded from the official site:

It is not exactly the same problem as yours, but at the end I realized that web interface works much better than the desktop apps. I now uninstalled Mega apps and using web interface only.

Thanks to everybody

i've tryied all version 20.04 and others... Nothing

I've tried synaptic... when i search mega there are only 2 name " megadown " and "mega tools" but i need the " sync for nautilus " for automated download and upload when i move file from documents

Does it list the missing dependencies?
You also may try installing the .deb file from terminal with sudo dpkg -i megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb
or
sudo apt install ./megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb

See if the terminal prints out the missing dependencies.

Another thing to try:
Open Software & Updates, on the Download From option, select Main Server
Then in terminal run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Once complete, try installing the mega .deb file.

@Fatez94

sudo dpkg -i megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb

Please check the actual name of the package that you downloaded.
It should be the Ubuntu 20.04 package, as shown in @Michel 's post here:

That explains it.
I am not so sure if it is a good idea to mix FlatPak with deb installer.
I think this FlatPak should be removed before deb installer.

[Fatez94]

the English translation is: Selected nautilus-megasync package not previously selected.
(Database reading ... 302056 currently installed files and directories.)
Preparations to extract nautilus-megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb ...

I think your problem is preexisting FlatPak version of Megasync.
Nautilus integration cannot work with Flatpak.
You should remove Megasync desktop app in Flatpak before the installation of those deb files.

flatpak uninstall [program name]

@FrenchPress

flatpak uninstall [program name]

oook i've uninstalled .... And now ?

Do you still have those downloaded deb files?
Use gdebi to install Mega desktop app first.
Then install Nautilus integration.
You cannot flip this order.

I believe this is it.
The user had a Flatpak Megasync, so the .deb installer could not see that the dependent Megasync was installed.

I really feels Flatpak and SNAP added so much confusion especially for the beginners. It is ironical since those new installers were developed to make Linux easy for the beginners.

Appimage is a different kettle of fish since it is a cross platform for Linux, Windows and macOS.
