Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros MediaFire allows a very complete hosting of various files, you can store anything within this cloud service, in addition, you can share any stored file with anyone just by using a link. MediaFire allows two different hostings, the premium hosting has much more capacity to host larger files, however, the free hosting offers considerably good space which allows you to store quite common files. Something fantastic is that the quality of the videos that have been uploaded does not decrease, in addition, it does not present an expiration time for the files, several years can pass and access to those files is as good as the first day. MediaFire is easy to use, it has very good servers which allows you to download and upload files without waiting so long. Mediafire is old, but it's reliable and easy to use. I've mostly used it for personal stuff more than anything, but it can be a good way to quickly upload files and no one can get to it without knowing the link. Cons MediaFire has a lot of advertising, every time a person wants to download a file, they will have to enter several pop-up windows and advertisements around the files, it does not matter if the person who has uploaded that file uses MediaFire Premium, in the same way the advertising will appear in each download. Another negative thing is that MediaFire does not have any type of integration with Office systems, which is quite negative because you cannot edit a note or a specific document, you must download it to your computer to be able to edit documents, hopefully they will implement this function in the future. It's mostly just for file sharing, and not as much for business. For professional use, there's better options out there that are better organized and even more private.		Pros from Real Users Pros The web page designs are fresh, uncluttered and easy to read. I currently use MEGA and I'm considering paying Proton for full-service VPN, e-mail and Drive combined. The price for 500 GB of combined storage is around $7 / month prepaid on a 2-year basis. I think that's very reasonable if you're willing to commit. I'm not a sharer but a daily user of cloud storage and Proton Drive's features suit me very well. The 'share' link leads recipients to a page with two options: Download Folder and Get your own Proton Drive. The shared folder is linked to the second option, not the first. But not reliably, only for those already logged in to the Proton service. For anyone else, the first option must be used, and then many more steps to access the actual file(s).
