(Prices shown are for annual payments.)Īdditional features with paid plans: Ad-free downloads and sharing, download entire folders upload from any website customisable branding detailed security log. Paid accounts : Pro: 1 user, 1TB storage, $3.75/month Business: 100 users, 100TB storage, $40/month. Without those details, it’s best to assume that data stored on MediaFire is not encrypted, and the service should not be used for sensitive documents. But the site provides no specific file storage security details, and the company did not respond when we contacted them. The company’s terms of service say, “we work hard to store your data safely and securely,” and its Business plan offers security tools that track the actions taken by user accounts as well as the location, referring domain, and data transfer totals when anyone accesses a file.
One important caveat: The other services in this roundup offer detailed security information that’s easy to find on their site, but we couldn’t find any specifics on the MediaFire site about encryption or other data protection. The service is very easy to use, with an intuitive interface. You can share file links on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and other sites by generating a one-time download link. Macs and Windows PCs access MediaFire via a web browser, but the company does offer apps for iOS and Android. The ad-supported free service lets you upload files up to 4GB, which is very generous, and the service automatically scans files for viruses, which not every file-syncing service offers. With competitive rates and a free plan that offers 10GB of storage (comparable to Box’s free plan), it may be worth a test drive for the budget-minded.
MediaFire is a lesser-known file sharing/storage service.
