I use MEGA on a network drive. When the network connection is unavailable/broken, why does MEGA display an error message after I try to open a file or close the application?

MEGA can only be used over the network if the directory where MEGA EXE is stored is available for reading (not writing). The user does not need writing privileges on the network. If your bug report indicates that you have an unreliable network connection, then it will be impossible to use MEGA reliably. MEGA also writes temporary files in the User’s Home Directory. This local directory will often be housed on the local computer (in which MEGA EXE is running), and it will always be available. A completely network-based use of MEGA (including User’s Home Directory) will cause problems due the non-reliability of network connections (and thus temporary and setup files).
