MediaFire has been around since 2006 and serves as one of the smaller file hosting services. MediaFire offers unlimited storage space for users, hosting files up to 200 MB in size for free accounts. Pro accounts, once registered and paid for, allow for an upload of 10 GB per file. The site utilizes ads on all downloads which allow it to offer such services to users who have registered an account, have a Pro account or even just upload a file anonymously. MediaFire uses short links to share files, and you can either embed these, password them or just share a link with users.

The biggest benefit of MediaFire is that there is no wait limit, and you can download as many files as you want. This makes downloading even large files a bit easier if you have the time to do it. MediaFire Pro accounts are relatively inexpensive and offer a 10 GB maximum upload which is larger than most other filesharing web sites on the Internet. These Pro accounts were introduced in August of 2008, they also allow users to take advantage of ZIP, RAR and remote uploads from your computer. MediaFire is one of the most reliable forms of filesharing on the web.

Since there are no wait times to download files, users may experience a higher rate of unavailable files depending on which server is hosting the files you want to download. This happens frequently and can cause frustration for folks trying to combine a large number of files due to the 200 MB upload limit for free and registered accounts. Since you can only upload files in 200 MB bits or less, you may have to provide multiple download links to users wanting an overall larger file. This can be cumbersome and run into problems if the download times out. MediaFire, overall, has more pros than cons and can be counted on to share files, folders and more.
