MediaFire - The Best File Sharing Platform
The best thing I like is that it can take so many folders within folders. This makes it easy for me to arrange my documents and other information. There is such an ease for me to sort and store data in categories.
It really helped in solving business problems by providing cloud storage and If we want to generate link for any media to download we can easily do that by using it.

- Ads on free downloads - becoming less common with competitors
- Size limitations, It provides limited cloud space for free users.
It is very affordable if you are going for a Paid Plan.
The ad-supported free service lets you upload files up to 4GB in size, which is also generous, and automatically scans files for viruses, a feature not every file syncing service offers.
You can share file links on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Blogger and generate a one-time download link

- In free accounts you can only manage files of little megabytes (200), which could be improved since currently file sizes are higher.
Free File Sharing and Storage with Mediafire
- 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!
- The 10GB Overall File Storage Limit. I really don't like this and I wish it were a 10GB limit per file. But I understand Mediafire wants to have some sort of limit with the Free accounts.
Very convenient way to share with your colleague
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
