You must create only one account unless you have received previous written authorization to the contrary from MegaFile, and that authorization has not been revoked. By using our service, you warrant that you have met all of the above eligibility criteria, and that you will indemnify us for any breach of this warranty.

  • MegaFile’s Copyright & Trademark

    You agree not to copy, distribute, display, disseminate, or otherwise reproduce any of the information on our website, or our website itself, without our prior written permission. This includes, but is not limited to, copying content (whether or not we own the full rights to it, as copying it still harms our network capacity), and copying file descriptions. The obvious exception to this is that you may download files provided by another user if it is lawful to do so.

    Additionally, “MegaFile” is a trademark used by us, MegaFile, to uniquely identify our website, business, and service. You agree not to use this phrase anywhere without our prior written consent. Additionally, you agree not to use our trade dress, or copy the look and feel of our website or its design, without our prior written consent. You agree that this paragraph goes beyond the governing law on intellectual property law, and includes prohibitions on any competition that violates the provisions of this paragraph.

    Your Copyright

    MegaFile does not require that you transfer any ownership of your file’s copyright to us. However, MegaFile is a file sharing service. Because of this, we must ensure that all content uploaded to us may be used legally by us without having to remove it at a later date due to a revocation of license by the uploading user, or a copyright complaint by the rightful owner. Therefore, by uploading any content to our site, you agree that you grant us a universal, perpetual, sublicensable, commercial and non-commercial, conditionally revocable license to use such content, and that you represent to us that you have the right to grant such a license. The condition on the revocability of this license is that in order to revoke, you must follow MegaFile’s procedures to delete your file from our servers, and allow for a reasonable period of time for MegaFile’s servers to remove it. You agree to indemnify us as well as any third party affected by your wrongful representations if you should represent falsely that you have the right to grant this license.

    Please note that this license is used solely to give MegaFile the right to host material; we do not actively control what material appears on our website and are not liable for any infringement by our third party users. Individuals alleging copyright infringement by a user may use our DMCA provisions described below.

    File Storage

    File storage will generally be provided indefinitely. MegaFile does, however, reserve the right to establish deadlines, including deadlines established ex post facto in relation to an uploaded file, which permit us to delete the file sooner, or deny a user the ability to upload a file in the first place.

    MegaFile may also delete files for legal reasons, without providing notice or a right of redress, including but not limited to cases involving alleged copyright infringement. We may engage in such deletions regardless of whether we have received a valid notice (such as a DMCA notice) where we believe that a prima facie case has been established for whatever legal wrong complained about.

    You hereby waive MegaFile from any liability in regards to the deletion of files or the inability to upload files.

    Revocation of Consent

    Where MegaFile has given prior written consent for your use of our protected material in accordance with our above “Copyright” and “Trademarks” provisions, we may revoke that consent at any time. If we so request, we may require that you immediately take action to remove from circulation, display, publication, or other dissemination, any of the marks, copyrighted content, or other materials that we previously consented for you to use.

    DMCA Notices

    In order to understand the DMCA and some of the policy lines it draws, it's perhaps helpful to consider life before it was enacted.

    Before the DMCA, an Internet-based service provider like MegaFile could be liable for copyright infringement in the United States just for hosting its users' pictures, music, videos or code. This was true even if it had no actual knowledge of any infringing content. This was a problem, since even a single claim of copyright infringement can carry statutory damages of up to $150,000. With potential damages that high multiplied across millions of users, cloud-computing and user-generated content sites like YouTube, Facebook or MegaFile probably never would have existed (or at least not without passing some of that cost downstream to their users).

    The DMCA attempted to fix this problem by creating a so-called copyright liability "safe harbor" for internet service providers hosting allegedly infringing user-generated content. (See U.S. Code, Title 17, Section 512.) Essentially, so long as a service provider follows the DMCA's notice-and-takedown rules, it won't be liable for copyright infringement based on user-generated content. Because of this it is important for MegaFile to maintain its DMCA safe-harbor status.

    If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, please send us a message which contains:

    • Your complete legal name.
    • The name,description and link of the work that is being infringed.
    • The reason which you believe that your provided link is infringed.
    • The location on our website of the infringing copy.
    • You must sign this notification and send it to our Copyright Agent at
    If you want to send a DMCA take down request please keep in mind these will take 2-4 working days to process.
