For how long the data I received from someone through MEGA is saved there

mega

I have received 18 GB of data through MEGA, but have not checked it right now, so what if I download that data after 2 to 3 days? Will it be still there and I can download it or will it be removed from there? Can someone tell?

Depends... If you received your 18GB package as a link and you added (imported) it to your account (storage) it will stay there forever so you can review it whenever you wish. If you didn't add it to your account (storage) then the link is valid until it gets invalidated. Invalidation happens when:

the owner removes those files
the owner makes those files private
someones report it via DMCA for ownership violation and MEGA takes it down

Your question is mentioning 2-3 days... there is no timeout trigger only those 3 mentioned scenarios.

How does the encryption on Mega work for sharing

I am not a user of Mega, but from what they write in their Help Centre ("Sharing") under "How does folder sharing work?"

It is then your responsibility to securely transmit the folder key to the recipient(s).

... it would appear that that they are implying that the key exchange does not involve their servers all.

Of course, in the end, as they themselves write in their Help Centre ("Security and Privacy") under "What if I don't trust you? Is it still safe for me to use MEGA?", it all boils down to whether or not you trust them. And with proprietary closed-source solutions such as these, there will always be uncertainty inherently built into the system.

Where did Mega.co.nz store the download
