I've been getting a lot of messages regarding Mega requiring a decryption key for the links I'm providing.
The links do not require passwords. This is an error.
If Mega tells you it requires a decryption key, please try refreshing the link and/or clearing your browser cache. I've been told by others that this usually fixes the issue.
UPDATE: This workaround was provided by unknown94 on my Star. If you're using the Mega mobile app, sometimes clicking the link results in the decryption key error. Unknown94 said that copying the link and pasting it into your address bar works. I know this sucks, but this is beyond my control.
I don't know why Mega is doing this suddenly, but I'll try and figure out (yet another) file sharing alternative soon.

i believe the problem mostly occurs in those that use mobile phones. when i click on the link on my phone, it says it needs a decryption key. but when i copy and paste the link on my address bar, i accessed the folder no problem. so it seems the real problem is the Mega app is being a bit wonky right now
Thank you very much for this insight. I'll be sure to include your workaround in any future questions that arise. I personally use desktop for this type of stuff, so I have no idea how mobile users "see" the content unfortunately.
This helps immensely! =D
