Question about file hosting

Quick question.

When I release my game I plan to make it available for free and I'm looking into hosting solutions. I already have my own domain but after thinking about it I'd prefer a cloud solution that I don't have to maintain for years and years ahead. Also, because of the contents of the game, I'd like a degree of separation. In addition to the game itself I also want to host a small collection of character files, which can be anywhere from dozens to hundreds of megs in size depending on the amount of image data they contain. But I doubt we're talking more than a couple of gigs at most.

As a user, I prefer Mega, because their download interface is really easy to understand and use, but I don't have any experience using Mega as a hosting site for my own files.

Does anyone have any experience using Mega or other hosting solutions? Do you have any advice? Should I go for a payed account or should a free account suffice?

I've hosted assets on mega before and it's worked just fine with a free account, the only problem is that things can get taken down pretty easily with dmca claims. I'm pretty sure they've nuked links of games that had content they didn't like as well but I'm not entirely sure what the boundries are regarding adult content
