Absolute Hypocrites

They deleted my account cause I was inactive. That's a very lame thing to do. The fact that it says that in terms of service is the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen. Don't upload files... unless you want them deleted for something stupid. I point both of my middle fingers towards this file uploading site. If you want an alternative that's free, and doesn't delete your files due to inactivity, go use dropbox instead.

Hello and thank you for posting, we regret to hear you've had this experience and we'd like to help you. We send 4 emails and alerts to you over the course of a month before before your account is finally considered to be abandoned. All that is required to keep your data stored on MediaFire indefinitely is to click the link in one of those emails, occasionally log in to your account, to download/access any file in your account, or to upgrade to a premium account for long-term storage. Usually this is enough, however we understand that it is possible that you may have missed those emails and notifications. If your account was considered abandoned recently, we may still be able to recover your data. We have requested you to contact us directly through Trustpilot so that we can attempt to recover your data. Please contact us as soon as possible so that we have the best chance of recovering your abandoned account.

Mediafire is great!

Simple sign ups and logins (unlike others) easy file management, TONS of storage for a free plan (10 gb) (i only needed like 1) Overall they are amazing!

MediaFire so easy to use

I’ve downloaded files from other MediaFire users over the years and never thought of having my own. But the need to share a file recently had me searching to figure out how to use dropbox, google drive and it wasn’t quite clear how to do that quickly. I remembered your site and figured I would try it as a client. To my amazement the site was so easy and was quick to figure out how to make a folder, upload a file and generate a link for it. Fantastic!!! So quick, so easy. I’m glad I have it now. Thank you

For free, it's great!

I just used Mediafire to share a 70Mb zip file with a friend in another country. Both upload and download were quick and easy, despite the confusing pop up ads. For a free service, you couldn't expect better!

Too slow, even paid version

I do not believe mediafire has much real use. Simple reason is that even if you pay for the service, the download speed is capped to what seems like 100kb-1mb/s download and 1mb/s upload. You can get much faster speeds elsewhere and both paid and free versions of this service just isn't good enough.

I write this review on the grounds of…

I write this review on the grounds of encouraging you, please don’t think I am fueled by spite and disdain, I will just relate my experience of using your service.

I had to make a brief backup of my phone pictures before resetting it, I often used MEGA in order to do this and was tired of using it. I wanted to give a chance to another cloud, in this case mediafire.
I quickly created an account and used their website on a mobile device. I was shows several (most of them were empty) folders with classic names, Photos, Music, and so on.

So I wanted to backup my photos which were around 70 MB by uploading all of them at once, I was surprised to see the browser either crashing or the app not responding, and unfortunately, nothing uploaded.
I refreshed the page and tried to reduce the amount of photos I try to upload at once, same thing happened.
I tried with 2, then 1, and same thing happened.

Had to switch back to MEGA who completed already completed the job as I’m finishing writing this review.

It does not mean I am angry or hate mediafire.
Thus I decided not to put just 1 star all over this brief experience I just had, but still wanted to write this review.

Regards

11yr Mediafire Veteran says all

I have been with MediaFire for over 11 years. I can tell you just about everything about them. Currently, I have over one terabyte service with them and have had it for several years. I've never had any issues with the site, I have stored many things over the years and deleted many things over the years. It's solid, there's speed is extremely fast especially if you are a member, and share your files with friends and families, they too will benefit from the high speed. If you're going to share files without being a member expect to have some type of advertising going on. their services are extremely reasonable I pay six bucks a month for my service and have done so since 2009. this is got to be one of the best file sharing and storage places I've had and I've checked out many of them. It's the only site that doesn't delete your files. and yes I have files that go way back to 2009 they are still there.

some people have complained about viruses and infection on their computer. I would beg to differ. Most likely if you're getting a virus of any type of malware on your system it is probably the actual file that you downloaded but MediaFire of late has done an excellent job of filtering out potentially dangerous files.

Their customer service is top-notch, as any problem I've ever had they were quick to resolve. However, I have not used their customer service in several years as the service I am provided with is very adequate. I would urge anybody that's having problems with files or web pages or anything of that nature to contact the media fire customer service, I am pretty sure they would be able to help you out with it.

For the money, this is a very good site very solid. The only thing I wish they had was the ability to use their site as a computer backup. As I can't stand google, I had to manually do backups to Mediafire.

Just a mere fact I've been with them for over 11 years says enough about my confidence in them.

Service not always great

I downloaded music I paid for and uploaded it to my mediafire account as a backup. It placed a "legal notice" on the files I uploaded (which I legally own) and will not let me download them. Very bad...
