Pros Mediafire provides an enterprise-level file cloud-based storage solution. It's the best cloud-based file backup software I've ever encountered. The main reasons I still use it now and thus, recommend are because: - it is because it's super fast and from personal analysis, I think it runs on ultra-fast servers which tremendously speeds up file upload and download processes. - file sharing is easy as the user interface is easy to navigate -It's easily accessible, mobile friendly, and provides robust file security solutions with cutting-edge technologies that protect users from account hacking and data phishing. It's a safe place for my files tho. Cons It only supports a few integrations and lots of my favorite apps seem to not be supported yet. Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/)[Dropbox Backup](https://www.capterra.com/p/267333/Dropbox-Backup/) With DropBox Backup, There are no strict security measures, and this tool charges away more fees. - Google Drive offers standard security solutions, however, storage allocations seem to be a little small compared to Mediafire and the user interface seems also supercharged.

Some difficulty at first navigationally, but figured it out. Pros Great tool for storing and keeping track of important information, including notes, music, etc... Cons Nothing actually comes to mind as far as dislikes are concerned.

Pros I wanted to share a large video with friends and family and other online utilities couldn't handle the size. Mediafire seemed to work (but I still had to split the video up into 4 parts so that the complete video could be downloaded. It included a nice feature to earn extra free space e.g. by referring to friends or sharing on social media I liked the way you didn't necessarily have to create an account to use the software (but see the minor gripe I had re this in the cons). Cons The “Welcome to your new my files” screen didn't quite match the actual screen e.g. it does not show "FILTER" on the former. It was not clear that I could drag a file onto the upload screen however, I discovered by experimenting that this was possible. I could not lookup help e.g. I clicked on help expecting to be able to search on a topic, but it just took me to a “submit a ticket” screen. People I shared a link (to a video) with had to give their consent to use personal data. (You don't get this with Youtube when you share a video). People I shared a link (to a video) with were displayed annoying adverts. One Ad included a big download button which my friends could easily have misconstrued as the button to download the video (and they would have been very annoyed with me if they had downloaded something dodgy). The ads are necessary (I supposed) to keep it free, but they include annoying pop-up ads No warning to me that the people I share a link with will see ads including popups. When I'm not logged in, I still get a logout option on the left-hand side. I would expect a login option there. Options that are only available with an upgrade are not greyed out or differentiated in some way, so I found it annoying that I had to click on them before seeing they were not available. The filter was rather limited e.g. I could not set it so I could view all video and all audio files (filtering out the rest); it had to be just video or just audio.

Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Favorite Cloud Hosting Service" September 14, 2022 5.0 I've used MediaFire for around 15 years and have had no issues with lost files or anything. It's a great hosting service. Pros I've used MediaFire since it first started in beta. Since that's the case, I have extra storage space as it started out with way more space, if not unlimited, at the time. They've changed that up but it's still affordable. It functions really well and is even great for image sharing. I like that it gives you instant links to share the picture directly with anyone else. The download and upload speeds are really fast as well. Cons I'm pretty sure that it originally had unlimited storage when it first came out. I understand why they changed it up and started charging for it but it's still really affordable and it's still my favorite hosting website to this day. Alternatives considered [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/)[Box](https://www.capterra.com/p/148766/Box/) Reason for choosing MediaFire I use a combination of all of them but I prefer MediaFire. I've used it way longer than the other hosting services. Review Source MP Mariaclaudia P. Researcher Market Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My MediaFire Journey" June 21, 2021 4.0 Overall, I really liked it, it is a tool that I will continue to use. Especially because I study in addition to working and I feel that it can be useful for both things. When I discover a website that has potential and has interesting solutions I tend to share it with colleagues at work and on a personal level, and I feel that this is one of them. I think that soon even though I have a special program at work for file transfer, I will start using this one because it saves me time and is easy to use. Pros This program is very easy and practical to use. It offers different functionalities even without registration, which is perfect for people who prefer to use it occasionally. Based on my experience, I was looking for a program that would help me both in storing files such as photos or documents and the possibility to transfer them quickly. The file upload time is one of the fastest I have experienced and you can use it on your phone as well. In addition, it allows you to scan any document for viruses, which I think is a great feature. What's more I love that it has a free version! Cons What I didn't like so much about this solution is the advertising in the case of the basic plan, but I do understand that this is the way to make it profitable. On the other hand, I would like this plan to also offer a larger number of links with functionalities such as: only allowing a single download, limiting a date and number of downloads, etc. However, the PRO plan offers it for an affordable price, I would consider it. Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/)[WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) I had several problems with Dropbox and Mega, there were some files I lost and couldn't get back, also they tried to charge me even before deadlines because of an issue with some of my documents. I do not use these programs anymore. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mediafire? never Again!" February 22, 2024 1.0 I had a MediaFire account open for about 10 years. Yesterday, out of the blue, I received an email stating that on February 28th, my account will be suspended, and I won't be able to access it anymore. They wrote to me claiming that I violated their Terms of Service. It's a shame because I only upload work files created by me without breaking any rules for years. Moreover, I hadn't uploaded any files for weeks. So, I opened a ticket as suggested by them to try to resolve the issue, and I received a response from someone named LaChandra without any explanation, simply copying the email I had already received. She didn't tell me what the problem was and informed me that my account has been permanently closed. This treatment is absurd, the service and assistance are terrible. I lost numerous important work files, and they don't even have the decency to help me understand and resolve the situation somehow. Never again. Better Mega / Dropbox / google drive.

The types of view as a search engine and as a unique link is what seems perfect to me. Uploading documents simultaneously is one of its best virtues. That they have a stable and available mobile application for IOS which is something that not everyone has. Cons I can't find anything wrong with Mediafire, I would rank it as one of the best online storage services.

Pros Mediafire is amazing, it is intuitive and allows for unlimited file sharing, regardless of size, which is really helpful to download games, movies and series. It has a good pricing too. Cons It would be great if it had a desktop app, file previews and at least encryption to avoid so many redirect links. Switched from [MEGA](https://www.capterra.com/p/232384/MEGA/) Mega has a limit of size to download with free version. Review Source MV Mickey V.

Isso torna o armazenamento de documentos muito mais conveniente e flexível para usuários que precisam acessar seus arquivos enquanto estão em movimento.

In pochi istanti sono riuscita con facilità a fare backup dei files più importanti, e riesco sempre a ritrovarli con semplicità. Perfetta!

Pros Mediafire is fast and the interface easy to understand. There are not a lot of ads as for the others file sharing software. Also the download speed and upload speed are amazing Cons Maybe it would be very useful to have a major upload limit for file sharing, as you need to be premium. Review Source Caterina C.

For a small online business owner like myself, there are likely more reliable and user-friendly storage solutions available, like Cloudfiles which I use currently. Pros As a small online business owner, finding a reliable and efficient storage solution is crucial for managing and organizing my digital assets. One of the main benefits of Mediafire is its large storage capacity, which allows me to upload and store a large volume of files. The platform also offers a range of security measures, including encryption and backup options, to ensure the safety of my data.One additional advantage of Mediafire is that it offers a range of integrations with other tools and platforms. For example, you can use Mediafire to store and share files from within your Microsoft Office suite, or use the platform to collaborate with team members on a project through Google Docs. This can be a useful feature for online business owners who rely on a range of different tools and platforms in their work. Cons However, there are several areas where it falls short. For one, the interface can be confusing and cluttered, making it difficult to navigate and locate specific files. Additionally, the upload speed can be slow, which can be frustrating when I'm trying to quickly share a file with a client.Another issue is the limited file sharing options. While Mediafire does offer a link-sharing feature, it lacks more advanced options like password protection or expiration dates for shared links. This can be a problem when I need to share sensitive or time-sensitive information.Finally, the pricing structure can be confusing, with different plans offering varying levels of storage and features. It can be difficult to determine which plan is the most cost-effective for my business needs.
