Hi rokytnji.

Is there a time limit to storage on MEGA?

LinusStallman,

If I were you I would stall on using Mega until you have done a lot more research.

This is one of umpteen negative reports on Mega:

There are other much less risky options.

Not that I was aware of. It was just weird. Some files would be gone. Some would remain. Nothing serious or anything I did not have backed up on my own drives. I just uploaded them there to share. If a time limit? I uploaded all files on the same day. But like I said. Some just disappeared for no reason.

That is unfortunate. Maybe it's some glitch/bug?
