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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

PROS

I 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.

CONS

I can't find anything wrong with Mediafire, I would rank it as one of the best online storage services.

Reasons for switching to MediaFire

I had heard rave about mediafire and wanted to give it a try
