    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 …

    MediaFire provides the best services among them and you can easily go for it without any second thought.

    We use this as a secondary cloud storage option where features and security provided by other cloud providers are not critical.

    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.

    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 …

    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 …

    It is well suited for large file sharing and file syncing. Easy to collaborate the files and provide access. File encryption, some features are pretty limited like the ease of use on front end as well. Customer support can be better and improve customer loyalty. Design can be improved for easier navigation and use.

    Pros
    MediaFire
    • FileDrop feature. This is an amazing functionality that increases collaboration among our team. People can drop files in a specific folder related to a project and we can keep it organized.
    • Mobile Apps for Android and iOS. The apps works pretty well and you can carry your files everywhere.
    • Regular and Instant Uploads - MediaFire checks for the exact same file in the cloud. If it finds it, the upload will be instant. Otherwise, it proceeds with regular upload.
    • Multiple Upload Types - Basic, Flash and HTML5

    Cons
    MediaFire
    • 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.

    Return on Investment
    MediaFire
    • 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.
