They replied to me that our account had been terminated for violating the 17.8 terms of use

Our publicly shared content has been identified as, quote, "illegal and highly objectionable".
It's true that I don't really moderate what is shared on our Mega account, except when someone reports it to me.
I think that what is most plausible is someone among us having the link to our mega folder has reported for a DMCA. Or not.
Unfortunately, we are unable to recover our Mega account and its data.
The positive side is that this incident occurred just before the annual renewal.
Now, we must consider whether we should find an alternative to Mega.
I set up a poll to gather your opinions.
My first ideas is:
- For now, no.
Let's focus instead on the forum rework.
OR
- Create a server for us, with software similar to MEGA, much like our UPload website.
This way, we will no longer have any issues with closed accounts or lost data. Any potential copyright claims will be handled by us.
OR
- Add the
Media Gallery and/or
Resource Manager add-ons to the forum
But I am afraid that it will change the way the forum works a little too much. From a technical perspective, it may overload our cloud if we upload a lot of videos there.
I am waiting for your feedback
Sorry for this inconvenience.
