MediaFire - easy file sharing
Used as an individual user. Found great for sharing of large files. Even the free version provides 10gb allowance for file sharing. The speed and ease with which sharing could be done were commendable. Mobile interface is good, however desktop client if available would also have been good for better syncing of files.
- Fast and easy file sharing
- Large file size allowed
- Mobile app is there providing better accessibility
- Ads in free version are too much
- File encryption/permission options can be explored
- Customer support can be ramped up

- Reduced response time
- Ease of file sharing
- Better transparency
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 or storing of files.

- Good storage limit worth it.
- Easy to share files via employees over different network.
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 them[...].

- Easy to sync files and keep versions up to date.
- Lack of desktop app which increases user penetration.
- Limitations in terms where the files can be uploaded.

- It has reduced cost to provision hardware.
- Reduced time to make available storage space.
- Improved data loss prevention experience.
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.

Very convenient way to share with your colleague
I have been using Mediafire personally for several years. Since I joined my company we have been using MediaFire in our product management team. We are around 12 people and our manager regularly collects all product documentation and amendment documents in one compressed file. Then he uploads it to our MediaFire account to be shared with all of the team. Since we found this solution beneficial, we are requesting a professional account to get more space and features. We have already consumed around 7 GB out of the 10 free GB.
- Free 10 GB space which does its job pretty well.
- The website is so responsive and fast for both downloading and uploading files.
- Cheaper than others if you want to upgrade.
- Create links to send it to others.
- Easy to use and manage all files.
- 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.

- Easy to share documents between the team
- We didn't need to go back to old emails in order to find any documents, all documents are in one account.
- Dropbox, Google Drive and Box
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 use it officially in our team.
