PSA: File sharing sites will delete inactive accounts

Postby Supernova » Tue Dec 22, 2020 12:43 am

I know there's Mediafire and Google Drive that'll delete your files and account if you haven't logged in for 8 months (Mediafire) or 2 years (GDrive), not sure which other file sharing site establish such policy, hopefully 4shared isn't one of them.

4shared - Your account will be deactivated automatically if you have not logged into it for 180 days.

mega - can immediately suspend or terminate your access to the website and our services without notice to you if you are using a free account and that account has been inactive for over 3 months or we have been unable to contact you using the email address in your account details.

No good, even with forgotten password option it says "This account does not exist".

Granted I haven't accessed it since like, 2 years ago. Strangely 4shared has never told me this account has been closed or such beforehand either. Chances the account has been deleted before this policy was put in effect.
