What are Mega link files — and why they matter
Mega link files are shared links generated by the cloud storage service MEGA (mega.nz) that let you share folders or files directly with others.

The Architecture of a MEGA Link
File "Takedowns": If a link is reported and found to violate terms, MEGA disables the link. Interestingly, because of how they handle file "hashes," if you imported a file from a link that later gets taken down, MEGA may also remove that file from your account.
