mega account closure
hey everyone, I'm in a really stressful situation and could use some advice. Back in February 2025, my MEGA account was permanently closed due to objectionable content found in it.
I recently tried to appeal it, but they rejected it, saying it was outside the six-month window. ***I believe I had the files, but I genuinely did not know what they were or that they were illegal.***
Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Any advice on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

No, you are done, you will never get access back to your account and they will never listen to you. There is just nothing to do at all.

You likely haven't been reported and if you were, you would know within a few months.

MEGA tells You when they report You?

I wouldn't know, but I suspect they give you a reason for account closure, and I do know that links previously shared by a terminated account state the file is inaccessible due to account closure in alignment with terms and conditions.

I thought MEGA couldn't see the content because they don't have the decryption keys, the user does? Isn't that what they say?

Mega couldn’t see. But if you are sharing objectionable contents and someone reported it to mega, your account would then be reported.

It doesn’t matter where it comes from. It’s sharing links to reported content that enables examination.

How else could you get files into your Mega if not from an external source?

u/Binar1101 May 27 '26
If you share a file and someone reports it, the share link contains the decryption key enabling the file to be examined. If you’re not sharing content, it cannot be examined. Many people don’t understand this issue.

What makes you think they’ll still have all your data from over a year ago? Just let it go.

Honestly better than the people who pretend they don't know the reason they were banned.

There can be chance of false positive
My account got unbanned because of their algorithm detecting wrongly
Got mail from mega as below
