Overview
MediaFire is a cloud storage and file-sharing service founded in 2006. It lets users upload, organize, access and distribute files through a browser and mobile applications.
The service supports personal storage, public or private file sharing, mobile media backup and business distribution. Professional and Business offerings add branding, analytics and multi-user administration.
Key Features
MediaFire provides web uploads, folder organization, file sharing and direct links. Paid plans support files up to 50 GB, password protection, one-time links and FileDrop requests.
The Android application supports automatic photo and video syncing, file uploads and sharing through other applications. The iOS application supports photo and video uploads, document viewing and folder management.
MediaFire also publishes developer resources for its core API, Media API and JavaScript SDK. Current public documentation does not clearly identify a maintained catalog of third-party integrations.
Pricing
MediaFire offers a free Basic service with 10 GB of storage and advertising-supported downloads. The Pro plan provides 1 TB of storage, ad-free transfers, direct links, FileDrop, password protection and priority support.
The official upgrade page lists Pro at $9.99 per month when billed monthly, or $6.99 per month under the displayed annual-billing option. It also lists a discounted annual equivalent of $5.83 per month. Ultra starts at $10 per month for 50 GB of storage and faster transfers. Business pricing is customized by storage and user requirements.
MediaFire advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee for subscriptions. It does not advertise a separate time-limited free trial because a free Basic service is available.
Pros & Cons
Pros: MediaFire offers a usable free tier, large paid file limits, direct links, file requests and mobile applications. Its Pro plan also removes advertisements and adds long-term storage features.
Cons: The free experience includes advertising, and the public product pages provide limited current information about integrations, desktop synchronization and API maintenance. Business pricing requires a customized quote.
Alternatives
Comparable services include Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, pCloud, Sync.com and MEGA. Google Drive and OneDrive offer deeper productivity-suite integrations, while Dropbox emphasizes synchronization and collaboration.
