Chose MediaFire
MediaFire's Pro Pricing is cheaper than Dropbox, although they're less known in the industry. I trust them with important documents, and they [have] never lost a file, whereas I can't say the same about other services like theirs. Customer service is fast and friendly if you …
Chose MediaFire
MediaFire is a great tool that is growing in service offerings and popularity. I recommend MediaFire as an addition to any content creators tool build as they offer a substantial free cloud storage offering with the ease of private cloud storage integrations and content …
Chose MediaFire
MediaFire provides the best services among them and you can easily go for it without any second thought.

It is very affordable to use and offers high-security enhancement against the G-Drive & Dropbox.
Chose MediaFire
All four services stand well against each other from the performance and reliability perspectives, but where MediaFire falls behind is in terms of storage offered for the free user,10 GB is an acceptable storage space but is the least amount offered between all four and is the …
Chose MediaFire
While google Drive is really high end on every aspect, MediaFire can still catch up if it works on certain aspects like ease of collaboration, better security etc. The areas where MediaFire is good at are it's ease of use and free space on offer which can allow smooth sharing …
Chose MediaFire
We use this as a secondary cloud storage option where features and security provided by other cloud providers are not critical.

It has the ability to store large files and has been a cloud storage provider for a long time, however the design and experience is somewhat dated with …
Chose MediaFire
I [have been] using MediaFire for 1 year. I have no big issue with this. I can upload my data any time, check them and I can delete what is not necessary. I got a good pack with [a] reasonable price. And there is no risk to download file from MediaFire.
Chose MediaFire
MediaFire is easy and free of cost to use up to 10 GB of storage over the web to share data with others. [Other] storages and server like Google Cloud and AWS are way too costly and a little complex to setup or share data over them as they are not designed to share files over …
Chose MediaFire
MediaFire lacks big time in front of OneDrive and Dropbox. Also, [the] lack of integration with Microsoft Outlook makes it less useful. [The] low cost of MediaFire makes the companies choose it.
Chose MediaFire
Mediafire needs to improve the end user usability and design. The file encryption at rest and transfer needs to be available which is a default feature in most cloud based storage providers. 3rd party integration needs to improved like outlook etc for ease of file storage and …
Chose MediaFire
Although both have similar functions, the differences between the two are perhaps more associated with the publicity they have received, since Dropbox is a more formal use, while MediaFire is used a lot of time to share movies and files illegally. The advantage that MediaFire …
Chose MediaFire
The listed alternative is very good but we prefer Mediafire as we feel it's much more of a simple website to use.
Chose MediaFire
MediaFire is similar to software like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Mega and OwnCloud. All of them share similar features. I particularly like MediaFire's usability because it has a smooth, simple and responsive interface. The pricing by MediaFire is also good and the …
Chose MediaFire
All four services stack up pretty well against each other in terms of performance and reliability, but where MediaFire falls behind is in terms of storage offered for the free user. 10GB is still a good amount of space for your average user, but is the least amount offered …
Chose MediaFire
All of these solutions stack up pretty well but there are some differences between them. MediaFire is very easy to use and manage files and documents. With a 10 GB you can do many things and share many documents with the team or the department which is what made us decide to …

MediaFire is suitable for individual users that want to store and maybe share files. It has a good initial space in the free version that can be enough for most users. The same applies for small teams that want to store documents (text, presentations) and share it between members (FileDrop features can help increase collaboration and productivity). If you have a big team or want to store big files you have to upgrade to the business or pro version (the price is interesting).

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Fast Uploads. Uploading is quite fast and it doesn't take extremely long.
  • 10GB Overall File Storage Limit. With a Free Account, you can upload up to 10GB of files.
  • Account Never Expires. We let a full year pass where we never logged into Mediafire at one point. And our files were still there!

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Download Page - When you generate a link to download some files it redirects users to a specific page where they can download the file. The page is sometimes confusing and with a lot of ads which can be a little bit annoying.
  • Customization Option - you can find a customization section in "Settings", but there are just a few things that you can really customize. Maybe improving this would be nice to allow you personalize your environment (for companies, for instance).
  • Blocked options for the free version - There are a lot of interesting options that are available just for business and pro versions. If you could at least test it before upgrading your version it would help users decide.
  • Lack of PC sync client - Would be great if you could install a PC client that would synchronize your files.
  • Problems when refreshing your files list in the browser. Sometimes it gets slow and you have to refresh the entire page to continue.

Mediafire needs to improve the end user usability and design.

The large file allowance ranks above other providers.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • Thanks to MediaFire I have been able to recover information stored many years ago on their servers, since they usually do not delete files after a certain time.
  • It has helped me to be able to backup sensitive information from long before the existence of massive clouds, so if you did not make these backups you had to lose all the information, but thanks to half fire that did not happen to me.
