what mega.nz does is quite cleaver
when provided url where the decryption key is after hash url.tld#decryptionkey, the server can store files encrypted and neither need to store decryption key. this hash will not be in any server logs either.
so in case feds go to mega.nz server room, they only find encrypted files, no proof of anything. they would need to find the decryption keys all over the internet to decrypt the files.
