User Testimonials
	HotGloo	MediaFire
Likelihood to Recommend	HotGloo is well suited to a dispersed team of users who are looking to collaboratively wireframe and prototype their latest web solutions. It's extremely intuitive and comes with a large widget library meaning the newest user can be up and running very quickly. In browser access means it's extremely accessible whether you're working in a room together or across the country at home. Incentivized LS Lewis Scott Programmer Analyst Read full review	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). Incentivized Vinicius Lima Computer Technician Read full review
Pros	Elements Library Symbols Library Interface supports workflow Incentivized MS Max Schütte Student Read full review	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! Incentivized Daryl Wise Jr. Founder/Owner Read full review
Cons	logical structure of interface objects preview view does not scale frame on small screens Tool ribbon Incentivized MS Max Schütte Student Read full review	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. Incentivized Vinicius Lima Computer Technician Read full review
Alternatives Considered	HotGloo is tailored to this use case and therefore considers the right user needs. I think one strength is that it focuses on the main aspect. There are other tools, that have more extensive features. However, those are then more complex and not so well made for the specific work I use it for. Thus, I like HotGloo also because of the element and symbols library. Which has the right depth and detail - no more, no less then needed. Incentivized MS Max Schütte Student Read full review	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 access. The large file allowance ranks above other providers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Build more wireframes quicker and deliver to client and provide options. Incentivized PC Paul Constantopolous System Designer Read full review	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.
