- \--proxy \<proxy\>

  Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config file settings. More information can be found in libcurl documentation at https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT\_PROXY.html. Some acceptable values are:

  • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.

## EXAMPLES

• Show overall human readable space usage information:

```
$ megadf -h
Total: 50.0 GiB
Used:  6.4 GiB
Free:  43.6 GiB
```

• Check free space from a script:

```
$ test `megadf --free --gb` -lt 1 && \
  echo "You have less than 1 GiB of available free space"
```

## KNOWN BUGS

Megadf can’t determine available space for premium accounts.
