If you don't use Windows 10, you can still use OneDrive to store your files. You do need to create a Microsoft account before you can use it, but once you do, you can use the website interface to upload and share files.
OneDrive also has a special Shared folder that keeps tabs on which files are being shared and to whom, so you can keep track of who can see your data. One of the older entries on this list, Dropbox, specializes in syncing your desktop files with the cloud. You can use Dropbox as a traditional cloud storage service, but its true power unlocks when you set up a special Dropbox folder on your desktop using the client.

This is also true if it notices a file has changed. As such, you can place a text document into the folder and edit it over time, and Dropbox will automatically update the cloud version of the file every time you save it.
You can also set up a shared folder and invite others to use it. When other people upload or edit files in said folder, Dropbox will update it on your end. If you have the Dropbox client, your friend's edits will automatically update the folder on your PC. If you're disappointed at Dropbox's 2GB offering, you can complete tasks and refer friends to get more room. If you're cost-conscious about your cloud storage, you can cut out the middle man and create your own.
The upfront costs are high, as you need to purchase a server and set it up at home. Additional benefits for upgrading to pro include protecting your files with passwords and one-time links, bulk file, and folder downloading as well as letting you upload your files from any website. The file hosting service is also available for your mobile device with full access to all your favorite features from Mediafire.
From your phone you access your files or upload new ones, download files, and share them easily with the contacts. Many services such as Google Drive and Dropbox have great file hosting, but they lack the features that Mediafire offers.
For example, supporting file hosting for websites to allow easy downloading. Mediafire is one of the most popular services available for file hosting and downloading. It offers ten gigabytes for free and a secure download service. Yes, in combination with its mobile app Mediafire caters to every file hosting need and offers an upgraded solution, with interesting extras, for a good price.
MediaFire download speeds were good, with the 1GB test file taking around five and a half minutes to download, which is just a minute over the expected time. However, no matter how fast uploads and downloads are, the website is near unusable. It takes anywhere from four to 10 seconds to open any folder completely, which is unacceptable. The only protective measure MediaFire takes is letting you set a password for sharing links, and you have to pay to access that feature.
This means that to have any measure of safety while using MediaFire, you will have to use third-party encryption. MediaFire has some issues with privacy, but there are some good things, too. One positive is that MediaFire claims no ownership of the content you upload. It also has a good data-retention policy and deletes all user information 30 days after you cancel your account.
MediaFire also complies with the General Data Protection Regulation , which should mean that your data is kept private. However, because it is based in the U. For the same purposes, MediaFire also scans archived files, so unless you encrypt your ZIP archives, MediaFire will scan them for data. The most worrying clause in the privacy policy, though, states that MediaFire will report user activity to the proper authorities.
So if you live in the U. Other than these issues, there are some minor problems, as well. For example, it tracks your interaction with ads and collects personal data, such as the names and email addresses of your contacts. Plus, coupled with its lack of encryption, this means that no data uploaded to MediaFire is safe from prying eyes.
There is a help center with information about frequently asked questions, which is useful for basic issues, but not much beyond that. There are screenshots explaining how things work, which is always a good thing to have. There is also the option to contact a MediaFire customer support representative by submitting a support ticket.
We tried asking about some of the issues that we mentioned previously in this MediaFire review, but all of our attempts to contact MediaFire have fallen on deaf ears.
After almost a week of waiting, there is still no response from customer support. There is very little reason to recommend MediaFire to anyone. Despite its free plan that offers reasonable storage space, it is completely devoid of even basic cloud storage features. Crucial things, such as customer service, are locked behind a paywall. Sure, if all you care about is a place to store files for free, and you find staring at loading screens exciting, give MediaFire a spin.
Otherwise, you can choose an alternative from our list of the best free cloud services , where pCloud comes out on top. Feel free to tell us about your own experience with MediaFire by leaving a comment below. Thank you for reading. It is automatically situated in disk C with only 42 Gb That is not enought!! I want to chance the sync folder to disc D where i have Gb. There is no option on the software to change the location. But there is a work around. Mediafire could be good but the upload and download rates make it basically unusable.
I tried using them for 6 months, but gave up due to the slow data rates. I guess they have some severe bandwidth restrictions. For comparison, a folder with 4GB of data took over 24 hours to upload to MediaFire. On Google Drive, it took around 20 minutes. The basic thing i went for this service my first cloud based backup storage was the price. Remixed from: Select a Collection. Apr 23, Access Rapidshare, Megaupload, Mediafire for free.
