MediaFire have smartphone apps available for iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows. This means files, photos and even videos can easily be added to the drive without the need to download them to a PC first and then spend potentially ages waiting for them to be re-uploaded, excellent! MediaFire Smartphone Apps One of the other most notable sharing features is the 1-Time link, this is essentially a sharing link which can be used only once and will automatically expire afterwards, this is also available on the free and premium accounts which is very good to see.Īnother very useful feature is that of the “FileDrop”, this feature, which can be turned on when creating a new folder allows anyone with a public link to upload files and folders directly to your cloud drive without the need for user accounts and passwords.įinally, another really useful feature of MediaFire is the ability to upload web resources directly to your cloud storage using only the publicly accessible URL. Once on the main sharing page we can generate a public sharing link for our files as well as share directly to social media thanks to the social media integration, we can also get specially formatted sharing links ready for integration into forums and websites, excellent! When it comes to sharing not only can a sharing link be easily created for any file or folder by simply right clicking on this entity but additional sharing settings can also be configured.
Sharing files is a key part of such a cloud storage service and it is clear MediaFire have put a lot of though into getting this part right. It is important to note here MediaFire stand apart from many other cloud providers here in not limiting the amount of downloads which can be made before any kind of restrictions and timeouts take place, this even applies to the free account which is great to see! Adding and downloading files is as simple as dragging and dropping from the PC to the web browser to upload and visa versa to download. To add files to the MediaFire drive we must make use of the web based console in lieu of any desktop client software which MediaFire does not provide. By default MediaFire have a file structure ready made to make categorising photos, documents, music and photos quick and simple from the get go (see below): Once logged into MediaFire we can start using the web based file manager tool, this file manager is basic but well laid out and easy to navigate nevertheless. Once logged in for the first time, MediaFire, provide a useful welcome message explaining how the web based file manager works, this file manager being the main portal for all access with the cloud drive given there is no desktop sync client available at present.
Signing up to MediaFire is very quick and easy, it is also very privacy focused requiring only a name and valid email address to take advantage of the generous 10GB free account.
