r/MEGA

Just wanted to see if support can let me know why it's been removed, and if there are plans to bring it back.

Today I noticed that when I tried to connect to the VPN, the United Kingdom location had suddenly vanished overnight. I have been using it all day every day for months, but suddenly it's disappeared and is now in the "request a new country" section.

I can only assume it has something to do with the UK's online safety stuff they're forcing, but as far as I know, no VPN bans have occured (yet).

I had received this email which has put me in stress after reading it. Anyone with clear knowledge of such matter plz help in the comments

‘MEGA account closure - objectionable content
Recently you were sent an email advising that your account was found to contain copies of files that were reported to us as being objectionable under Section 3(1)(A) of the New Zealand Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993. In particular, this relates to objectionable violence, and depictions of sexual conduct with or by children, or young persons (Section 3(3)(a)(iv)), which is an offence carrying potentially lengthy prison sentences in our and your jurisdiction.
We removed from your account the copies of such files that were reported to us and advised you to remove ALL objectionable material from your account IMMEDIATELY and refrain from EVER adding any of it again in the future.
However we have now found copies in your account of further files that were reported to us as being objectionable under Section 3(1)(A) of the New Zealand Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993.
As advised previously, this second strike has resulted in IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT closure of your account and potential further consequences for you.

I'm trying to move all my photos from Ente photos and Proton Drive into MEGA. No matter what I try, the months and years I took the photos do not carry over. Am I missing something, or am I just technically illiterate?

TIA

I test the network with the VPN as I’m using ethernet and and IP wont even show. very slow when it does even with the closest server. I think this VPN is a scam its been weeks already they never really work. Mega why bother making VPN?

I recently got Mega. And i was downloading a scenepack and then it said something about transfer requires attention/transfer quota exceeded. If i come back 5 hours later or whenever long it takes will download stay there or will it restart?

on my phone i wanna send images stuff from phone to pc since on my phone i already downloaded apps and also use google chrome by logging in and send all stuff to let mega sync uploading all of it into new folder then after that, it keep freezing when i want to download to .zip file on pc it keep freezing at 1% and yesterday and below that works perfectly fine till today, is there outrage going on or something?

New to Mega and sharing files... I received a link from a friend with video files in a couple of folders. I downloaded them to my local hard drive. Another friend wants those video files so I uploaded them from my HD to my Mega account and sent him my link. Some of the individual files in two of the folders are encrypted but I didn't encrypt them. How do I remove the encryption... or where do I find the encryption key??

TIA

i cannot upload photos so it has been copied and pasted to the bottom.

my data has just been deleted from MEGA. i have had a free account with them for 10 years and uploaded countless memories and important files. i have had an inactive account for a few months now, trusting that my storage cloud account is being stored.

twice i got an email that said mega “misses” me. not that my account is at risk of data loss. this doesn’t feel like an appropriate notice prior to data deletion.

i upgraded to pro since they said i may be able to recover some files. nothing important was recovered and im devastated. i also wasted my money upgrading.

i know there isn’t anything that can be done about the data loss. i have tried contacting mega about a formal complaint so its clearer that data is at stake with these “notice” emails. they closed my ticket very fast or simply didn’t respond even though im now a paying customer. what can i do? they also kept saying that the t&c’s were like this when i signed up, which im not denying, but i feel is unlikely given its been a decade, but they aren’t supplying what they were when i signed up. how can i navigate this? i just want to see and confirm

i’m not looking for comments to tell me i should’ve known better. life gets in the way and the storage service i use should have told me if my data was at risk of being deleted. if they had said in the email that inactive accounts are wiped, or that i needed to upgrade to keep my data when i am inactive, then guess what: i would have done so. i don’t need to be told this.

None of my devices are loading mega. It’s no internet issue

Not sure if this has been posted before, but when I am trying to play a specific video on desktop, it does not allow me to play it, and only starts a transfer. I have other videos on there, but those play just fine. I am currently just using the free version, if that matters here. I am not very savvy with file types or whatever but it is a .mov file if that matters as well. Thanks

What happened to MEGA Basic Monthly Subscription? The one that cost €2/month with 100GB storage. I was planning to try this plan out once I'm near my 20GB limit, but it disappeared and can only be purchase per yearly basis.
