My Favorite Cloud Hosting Service
I've used MediaFire for around 15 years and have had no issues with lost files or anything. It's a great hosting service.
PROSI'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.
CONSI'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.
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.

My MediaFire Journey
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.
PROSThis 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!
CONSWhat 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.
Reasons for switching to MediaFire
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.

Perhaps the best file sharing software of internet
I discovered Mediafire a lot of years ago and I never changed it, other softwares are not fast as it is.
PROSMediafire 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
CONSMaybe it would be very useful to have a major upload limit for file sharing, as you need to be premium.

Mediafire? never Again!
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.

Storage for you, me and everyone
I used it to share my files with my students so that everyone could collaborate on teamwork. in addition to files and stems of my musical projects
PROSI am very happy with mediafire since I can use it in 2 easy ways, as a public link or as a storage for myself. 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.
CONSI can't find anything wrong with Mediafire, I would rank it as one of the best online storage services.

The door to unlimited file sharing
I'm very fond of games and series, the fact that bandwith is unrestricted means i can rely on this software everytime.
PROSMediafire 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.
CONSIt would be great if it had a desktop app, file previews and at least encryption to avoid so many redirect links.
Reasons for switching to MediaFire
Mega has a limit of size to download with free version.

is MediaFire good for files sharing,is it safe?
overall experience, I would say that MediaFire is a really good website for both storing files and sharing.
PROSMediaFire is a really common website for file-sharing or file storing, I'm using it for a very long time, and the thing that I like most is that you have up to 11GB for free to store your files which is good for free versions. and there is a paid version really cheap you can get up to 1TB of space, No captcha codes, Long-term storage, and many more good features. In both versions, you can upload your files and share links, you have cloud storage so you can store your files and back whenever you want. If you are a MediaFire user, you have a really good interface easy to use so you can see all uploaded files.
CONSto be honest as a user, I upload files, and I have never seen something wrong on the website, But if you are a user who downloads people's stuff, I can't guarantee if the files can be harming your device or not, of course, the website is taking care of this stuff, but always give attention, you will never know.

Old, but still useful
I've been using MediaFire for a long time. Because I started into it so early, my first storage was limitless. Several years ago, my free account was "downsized" to 15GB of storage. Although my upload and download rates have always been excellent, keeping my assets in folders has allowed me to maintain complete control over my data.
CONSMediaFire's main flaw, in my opinion, is a lack of intuitiveness. This makes it harder to transfer data with younger individuals, as services like WeTransfer and Dropbox offer a more straightforward user experience. MediaFire links might be confusing for specific users. This software has an outdated understanding of the file transfer environment when you can't build or download batch operations.

MediaFire has always been my first choices for years at this point; both upload and download are amazing, especially the download speed. I usually use it for cloud-storage and it never disappointed me. I consider it the best software, my files have never been lost or damaged and thanks to the simple friendly-user interface, it's really a pleasure to use.

A mixed bag for online small business owners
Overall, while Mediafire has some useful features, there are several areas where it falls short. 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.
PROSAs 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.
CONSHowever, 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.

Easy File Sharing For Free But Annoying Ads In Free Version
The software was useful for quickly sharing large files and I suppose the ads are a necessary evil so there is a free version, but it was not good that some of these ads are popups and could be generally better selected to be less annoying.
PROSI 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).
CONSThe “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.
Reason for choosing MediaFire
Mediafire seemed to handle large videos more easily and so recipients could actually download without there being a timeout.

MediaFire is Fantastic, But Not As Intuitive as I'd Like
I love using MediaFire for my own personal storage, as well as sending bigger or more complex files to tech savvy friends and colleages. For use with other people, however, the UI isn't up to date, and batch download and upload capabilities are locked behind a paywall.
PROSI've been a MediaFire user for over a decade. I got into it so early that I initially got unlimited storage. Years ago I was "downgraded" to 15GB of storage, which for a free account is nothing to sneeze at. Upload and download speeds have always been class of the field, and organizing my files in folders has kept even me totally organized.
CONSThe biggest gripe I have with MediaFire, is that it's not very intiuitive. The design language on the download page is very much from the mid 2010s, even now. This makes it very difficult to use MediaFire to share files with younger people, as the likes of WeTransfer and Google have moved onto a more minimalist user interface. Some people just don't know what to do with a MediaFire link. Add to this that you cannot easily create or download batch processes, and it's clear that MediaFire has an antiquated view of the file transfer landscape.
Reason for choosing MediaFire
For my own personal archives, I use MediaFire to this day. It's convenient, fast, allows for great organization and I have 15GB of free storage, forever. But it's not practical when sending files to other people, so for that application, I usually have to rely on competitors.

Useful in its own time.
There are many options on the market but we fire up MediaFire when we want to mail out download links to our readers and subscribers so they can easily download as much as they want and for as long as they want, unlike WeTransfer that becomes unavailable after 7 days.
PROSWe use MediaFire every now and then when we need to send files that are neither to huge or too small over the internet and we want it to stay up as long as we want. Usually when we want to send out the links to multiple people to download or keep in a safe place. The process is fairly easy and it works for us. One of the many benefits of this app is that you can use it to upload/store almost all kinds of files.
CONSThe ads on the download page could definitely use a reduction. Granted its free to use and get started with but those ads can be intrusive and obstructing at times, needs a rework.
