"the best to backup your personal files"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

with mediafire I have been able to back up my personal files on the web, without risk of losing them or being shared without my consent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

1.- easy to use, it is not necessary to download any application since only with your web browser you can access your files and download the files from your backup.

2.- Your download loading system are pretty fast in general.

3.- The download process seems very good, since you do not have a maximum of downloads per ip, which makes it easy to recover all your files hosted in this cloud.

4.- in its free version, it has a minimum of more than adequate space (10gb) to upload and download all your files.

5.-supports parallel downloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing, no doubt mediafire is one of the best pages of this type, and while it is not the most beautiful page in the world, just know that it works faster than others, and also has no download limit, make it a of the best Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaFire solving and how is that benefiting you?

so far, mediafire has been one of the programs I've used to download files, as well as upload and share files on the web and / or social networks. Its download process does not take so long to start, which gives it an advantage over other programs that sometimes you must wait several minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

It's a great software but a little bit thinks need to be changed so my recommendation is to use this software and rate it and also company should correct these thing with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MediaFire solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main drawback is the lack of a desktop sync client which is a staple among cloud storage services. Versioning is common, too, but MediaFire doesn’t provide it. Users who need collaboration won’t be pleased, either, because MediaFire doesn’t have native or third-party productivity apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free file-storage service in a premium outfit !"

5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

Media-fire has always been my go-to solution for uploading and sharing files/resources online. It is a straight forward service that provide you with a set of premium tools on a 10 gigs of space for free.

If i want my files to permanently available to my followers, i simply upload it to my account and share it online for any one that have access to my links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

The best thing i like about media-fire is that my download links are not cluttered with disturbing ads ruining the whole experience.

As a down-loader, when i see that media-file is being used for file sharing, i trust that i would be able to directly get my files without worrying about waiting time of limited download quota.

And as an up-loader, i enjoy uploading and then organizing my files on my free 10 gigs of space in an easy to use straight forward account interface.

I also like the fact that they seem to keep my files for forever, unlike other similar services that like keeping my files to them being regularly downloaded.

Apparently That is not the case with media fire.

I logged into my account after almost a year of inactivity, and to my surprise i found that files i uploaded in 2014 are still in my account and were not deleted even though they were not even downloaded once for a long period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaFire?

Honestly, i have always found media-fire to be "too good to be free" service. And have always wondered how are they still live with so little ads shown on free accounts. I tried to figure a feature or a fact that i dislike about media-fire, but as a long term free user; there is not much that i dislike abut them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

If you need a great tool to host and share files/resource online without having to worry about your files being deleted for inactivity or being unavailable for a limited download quota, then go with media-file: the service is really above the competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review for MediaFire"

5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

This service provider (MediaFire) helped me with my file storage and sharing. I had a big selection of photos, videos, audio tracks, documents, and school related files that were in many locations all over my computer and data storage devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

What I like best is the fact that it is free to start off. The storage capability of a free account is a whopping 10GB! That has been plenty of room for my first year in using MediaFire. Next year I plan to upgrade, just because of the extra bonuses that come with a paid subscription. The return on investment is a no brainer to spend a little extra money for the excellent features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaFire?

There is only one downside that I can think of for MediaFire. That would be the time it takes to do a batch upload of files. For example: I send out a weekly email blast to each stakeholder in the community. To create this email I first upload the files (photos, pdfs, documents, videos) to MediaFire. Then I will use another provider to generate the email campaign and send it away. This whole process has been streamlined by using MediaFire cutting my time nearly in half from start to finish. The problem with MediaFire is that when a file is uploaded it is queued, then uploads, then has to be verified. I feel like the verification process takes a little bit longer than it should. I understand that during this process the type of file being uploaded is detected and the file is sorted automatically which is nice. However, I feel like I could sort the file easier and faster myself when uploading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

For sure try this out before anything else. For file sharing and data storage and management I highly encourage the use of MediaFire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mediocre website, slow downloads, file upload limits"

1.5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

I've generally used this for quick, disposable file uploads to a client or a friend/family member in day-to-day use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

I like the options for quick, anonymous uploads and downloads, and relatively large file size limits. Best for 200-800mb files, don't use for anything larger or you start running into serious time issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaFire?

Slower than alternative services like Dropbox, Mega, OneDrive, Box.net. This is not the most efficient, fast service, and it does have file size restrictions, unlike certain other file upload services. If you don't need anonymity, use Dropbox or another service that provides more performance and upload size. If you need anonymity and are uploading files that are <= 800mb, then this is a perfectly acceptable choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

Consider other potential file providers - including Mega, Dropbox, Box.net, OneDrive, Amazon S3, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MediaFire is a Great Way to Find and Store"

5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

MediaFire stored image, video, and documents for easy access for the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

The ease. It makes working together easier. When you have so many documents for so many clients and internal goings-on, those documents can be easy to lose and difficult to find. The entire workflow can back up just because we are trying to compile and quickly find all sorts of documents to put together for a proposal or for a style guide. And for client-related documents, the one-time links are ideal.

Not to mention how easy it is to share things with people outside of the company. Working with hundreds of freelancers who need eyes on the same thing, this is just a great solution for that. The ease of access is definitely noteworthy. Plus, the file sizes it allows are tremendous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaFire?

It would be nice if there was a chat feature. A live chat is always helpful when we need quick response. Plus deleting inactive files and not being able to upload folders can slow things down as well. If you're trying to do the power upload from your phone, it does take up a bit more battery. So you'll need to stay plugged in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

The free option is great, but limited file sizes. The pro option is wonderful if you need a place to store and share whatever it is you need, whether that's documents, audio, video, what have you. It's not the most beautiful layout I've ever seen, but it's certainly not the worst, either! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great place to keep your stuff"

5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

I use MediaFire when contacting some of my clients for review about presentations and mockups.. When we are working together on projects that require file storage and sharing, MediaFire is essential. Our demand is just for text and presentation files (generally small size) so the free accounts are suitable for us. We can easily upload files through a browser and generate a link to anyone to download it. This is much better than sending tons of emails with documents attached making our documents much more organized.I personally and professionally use these features to provide my clients access to any relevant data ( documents, pictures, etc ) that I have for them for a specific job, or share pictures with friends.

I also have referred multiple clients to use MediaFire within their own systems, whether it be personal or professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

It is dependable in my opinion andMuch more affordable compared to other services with similar capacities.

There is a certain level of trust I have with MediaFire for the fact that it has been around a long time since launching its web-hosting services years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaFire?

Customer support isn't very responsive.

Can’t download more than one file at a time from a free account.

No live chat nor phone support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

I would recommend this product if you're looking for a no hassle, affordable, simple, easy to use cloud storage service. I have no experience using their services at an enterprise level but on a personal use level it's, the right one for me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the good OG cloud services"

5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

In the world of cloud storage, you can never have enough backups of files. Mediafire is another one of the OG cloud services before Drive, OneDrive, Box and Dropbox exploded into prominence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

Mediafire starts at 50 GB for free accounts, which for our purposes is more than enough for our redundant cloud backup. Setup is a breeze, uploading files is also very easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaFire?

There isn't anything that we did not like at all that we see so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

MediaFire is one of the OG cloud providers, you can also share files with other users as well like the other cloud storage providers. Having 50 GB out of the gate for free users is a big plus as others offer no more than 5 GB (Google is 15). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used to be irreplaceable, now... Replaceable"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task MediaFire helped with:

During production projects sharing large files over distances can be tricky, Mediafire can solve this need quickly and easily, averting email data caps and file transfer dead ends with a quick shareable link that can be tracked over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MediaFire?

It's easy to use. MediaFire's no-frills, basic UX and functionality make it easy to transfer files, password protected or not. If you need to dump something for an online community, it's a good option, but peer to peer transfers typically require more than Mediafire offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MediaFire?

it lacks features like anonymity, archiving, large data caps, security, and appealing pricing models that competitors like Google have mastered. And when I have the choice between another niche service provider and Google, I'm going Google... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MediaFire:

If you need a quick and dirty file transfer solution, this is a great option.

I'd be concerned about clients seeing you as unprofessional or being wary of downloading nondescript files in "sketchy" links, so be very clear in walking them through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
