I see no reason not to trust the repo if you trust megasync.
@I0F
I can wait 2-3 days.
@pebcak
When I visit their website this is their installation instructions for Arch
Download the package and, in a terminal, install it with:
sudo pacman -U /path/to/downloaded/package.pkg.tar.zst
I will wait 2 days and if the AUR package is not fixed I will add their repo.
This or giving the full URL path as posted before should work.
In any case, you would need to import the signing key and sign it locally.
Waiting for the AUR package to update should work as well 
Or adding the repo 
The possibilities are endless!

One possibility.
git clone, edit:
pkgver=4.6.5
pkgrel=2
and
sha256sums=(‘a16879f48d3af1b8b6f78dc60a0ad76eeb639f9ef91beb01d19e6f144b8ac6f6’)
makepkg -sic
Summary
Did you create the checksum by downloading and running the command yourself or did you find it somewhere? Was looking for it, but couldn’t find it.
Downloaded and calculated the checksum.
Have you tried the link?
:: Fetching packages…
file megasync-4.6.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst could not be downloaded

[michael@eos22 ~]$ sudo pacman -U https://mega.io/linux/repo/Arch_Extra/x86_64/megasync-4.6.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
I was so hoping to eliminate a Mega browser extension.

I got this
Megasync was also on my todo list.
I will keep watching the thread
Michael
This is the way that I’ve installed it a couple of months ago.
The repo gets installed automatically.
Yes, I did try the link before and it worked on my end back at the time of posting.
I tried it again just now and it still worked.

To get immediate access to your vault, you could use the browser extension. I use Vivaldi and it uses extensions from the Chrome Store
The packages were updated only 6 days ago. https://mega.nz/linux/repo/Arch_Extra/x86_64/
I have sent a support ticket to Mega, but don’t hold your breath for a reply anytime soon.
Michael
Just like the Google Chrome repo gets added automatically while running dpkg -i package.deb in Debian based distros.
Problem solved.
Please help me to understand how a Debian solution helps with this for Arch?
I have previously posted the Mega repository in this thread, waiting for them to be added to the AUR.

I think OP was just comparing the way running
sudo pacman -U /path/to/downloaded/package.pkg.tar.zst
would add megasync’s repo automatically to repositories in pacman.conf as commented by @Lemon here with how it is “just like” the way
That is at least how I read it.
Which is pretty disgusting btw.
It modifies pacman.conf, adds keys and locally signs them.
not nice

Yes. I read that install script as well.
I didn’t like it either that it would just add the key and the repo kind of “behind my back”.
