Mediafire upload problem

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. The windows client is really simple — install, pick a folder and let the app to do all the necessary things. It did on almost all of my files, but not all, the key to what files get this behaviour and which not is completelly unknown to me.

But, if file timestamp is not an issue for you, than you might consider this as a no problem. The sync also meant all the problems described bellow to reappear again. What i found? That the app is reading my files in this way: It opens file at some current location, reads 12k B in one read, then performs another 4k read and then closes the file.

And again, and again and again. So instead of one long read, it does zillions of reads, with many reads needing a disk to seek. I dig into that a bit deeper, but only found a hint, that this constant bytes is from old microsoft windows phone 7. So you can see its database structure and data. The minus is that every change on client is done via separate journal file. Just from this factor. On windows 10 you can clearly see this in your windows task manager, resp. Well not a good thing for SSD, but might not be inevitable with this technology Perhaps journaling into memory?

The manifestation of the loop was simple: client showed 25k files to sync, then the number get lower a bit and then returned again to that same number.

It went for days before i noticed, but GB were uplouded by that time and the counter was still the same. I contacted the support, they gave me an advice to fully reset the client. The number went a bit down, but later the client was stucked again. So i went debugging their database and after some time i found about 30 files, that were already uplouded but the client tried to uploud them again and the service returned an error.

I moved those files away, the client downloaded the data from cloud and everything was good. I mean slow. Unbearably slow. Seriously, if you want to work with your files through web interface, than look for another service.

The web interface is based probably on ajax calls, so you load the page, you see basic interface and then you wait for ajax calls to load the data from servers. I waited between 10 to 90 seconds for it to load the basic directory structure with 3 directories.

I clicked on folder and waited again 10 to 90 seconds to load the contents of one of those directories. It depends probably on server load, how quickly it can process the requests, but sometimes, i just lost patience and closed the web after couple of minutes of waiting.

But usually you get on average 15 seconds response time for any operation. For me, this is really slow. Mediafire is quite reluctant to put any information about security on their website. I consider this as a standard in security transparency by any of cloud storage service today. My final thoughts. If you are here for cheap solution and have large pile of data, this service can save you couple of bucks. My conclusion is, that it is better to pay the double for average service in cloud market nowadays and get more decent service than Mediafire.

Three days ago one of my files, showed into the web portal, was not accessible and not downloadable. Today, after three days, the file is not yet accessible. Very very poor service. MediaFire recently announced via a popup on the Windows desktop and a blog post that they are closing down support for their current desktop sync, and working on a new desktop sync app:.

I have a small question. I have downloaded the iOS version and I could not upload files from other apps. For example I want to upload a pdf book from Documents by Readdle this is impossible because Mediafire is not listed in the sharr menu. Is there any way that allows me to upload file from other apps to Mediafire? Thank you in advance! Users beware! It was identified by the cyber security authorities in my country, who alerted me within 24 hours a BIG thanks to them.

For safety sake I immediately deleted the file from the MediaFire website and contacted them about it. Took them 72 hours! Do yourself a big favor and give Mediafire a miss. Files are not encrypted on our servers but we do have industry-standard security around the access to our servers and infrastructure. I was actually wondering how MediaFire stacks up against OneDrive? I use MediaFire for my PodFics. DropBox is also too small without an upgrade as well. Wave FreshBooks vs. Xero FreshBooks vs.

QuickBooks Online Xero vs. Cloud Storage MediaFire. Customer Service The Verdict. Visit MediaFire. Strengths: 10GB free storage Very large file size limit. Downloading speed from Mediafire is the same and all other filehosts works with the usual upload speeds so the problem is the MF upload speed Im so sorry if I posted in the wrong section and could the mods in that case move the thread to the right place, please and thanks. Points 29,, Savings 36,, Me, ever since a couple of weeks ago.

My upload would even stall and fail. I installed MF express and upload my stuff via that one and it worked better. I'll try it later, hope it works because after they shut down Megaupload I've been relying on Mediafire a lot. Points ,, Savings ,, I don't know if it's me, but whenever I try to upload on MF it fails me times, and I come and hour later and only then will it upload, but downloading from MF is quick.

MF express? I've heard of that, is it like the one for Dropbox? Finally Mediafire uploads are working again. Wonder what the prob was though, I mean uploading to other filehosts worked fine crisislover Hope it works out for you as well.
