Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using MediaFire in our department to upload files, share files and to collaborate on files. It is also used by some other departments of my organization.

Pros and Cons

File drop feature makes it easy to upload files.
Collaboration on files with colleagues is easy.
Sharing files using a link through email is also a very good feature.

Download page has a lot of ads.
Integration with Microsoft apps like Outlook is missing.
App does not work smoothly on Android.

Return on Investment

File drop feature makes upload of files very easy for the whole team.
Online storage of files with versioning makes collaboration very convenient.
Mobile app access makes working on files available on the go.

Alternatives Considered

OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive

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.
