MediaFireReviews 28

Media Fire hosts stolen materials on it is website. We have complained to them for over a year but they have not responded.

We have sent them repeated DCMA takedown requests and filled out all of the appropriate forms. Not only to they host our stolen material they host the stolen material of dozens of online art schools. This of course means in the end they are stealing from teachers and artists who otherwise could make an income on this material.

This is a disgraceful act especially since they have been alerted to the crime many times and have failed to act.

Media Fire is what is wrong with the internet.

I have been a many years paid user of Mediafire, and called for help the first time today. Being email assistance, I thought it would be a wait. I had a reply with suggested solution in less than an hour. Problem was completely solved. I cannot imagine how the negative reports can be happening. As I said, many years with no problem, then when I did get one it was fixed so fast. If ads annoy you, just kick the tin, and become financial. They spend a lot of money keeping things going. I have been a paid member since I joined originally. I don't have a proof of purchase, too long ago. I will attach my help docket.

After seeing dropbox destroying download links, this seems okay at avoiding this.

I've realized it is not the site's fault for having malicious ads (which is why I gave a higher rating than before), as it is the ad network prone to attack. Thanks to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgs8h2pu-1I instead of clicking on the true download button (I said true because ads can be deceptive on the display) you would right-click on it instead and "save link as" or something similar (I'm using Google Chrome by the way). Just make sure your browser is up to date and so is your anti-malware software.

I would rather have anti-malware and avoid triggering ads than to use an ad-blocker because using ad-blockers could cause the site to do what photobucket have done.

I do dislike when ads do these following:
-Popups, and new tabs being opened.
-Do anything else besides closing when I wanted to close if it is a in-window box that prevents me from using the site (fake close buttons are examples of this)
-Redirects to any scam sites (tech support scams, congratulations), Amazon cards or just about any site.
-Drive-by downloads.

But I do dislike when sites be fallen because of the overuse of ad blockers AND that nobody is reporting them, causing attacks to be secret and makes this entire situation even worse.

If you are a professional anti-malware company that voluntarily help with websites be safe (I'm looking at you, malwarebytes), please at least weekly check this site' ad network. It's a popular site and that can be a big target for a large number of users.

ABSOLUTELY NO POINT IN SPENDING A. N. Y. MONEY BUYING A "PRO" SUBSCRIPTION! These people just made an upload site, and try to sell a service without providing ANY support for it. If it doesn't work (a LOT of things, like the 1-time download links they advertise they have!), you can email them, but all you'll ever get is automated replies. AT BEST, you MAY get a human to reply at SOME POINT (...), but all you'll get from him/her is a "standardized" reply sending you a doc or link of instructions (which was already available on their site before you wrote to them...). So, essentially, that too is an "automated" reply! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE, THEY WILL TAKE IT AND GIVE YOU NOTHING BACK.

They scam you by charging you an extra month and putting you automatically on a recurring plan.

I know you 'get what you pay for' and boy did I with the "FREE" version. Not only did I download what seemed to be a cumbersome application for plan reviews, but I also downloaded TEN (10) infiltrations to my WINDOWS operating system as well. My virus scanner was able to 'clean' these infiltrations, but the four hours I used this software were a complete nightmare for me, turning me off from ever considering a PURCHASE of any version of MediaFire. I see other reviews stating 'no viruses' but that was NOT my experience.

MediaFire is an online file hosting solution that enables you to upload and share files in a very easy way.

The "Basic" plan is starting with 10GB (up to 50GB), BUT evern if apparently you start at 10 GB which can be increased up to 50 GB (-) if you make promotion action like sharing things on Facebook G+ and Twitter. As anonymous user, captcha codes looks shorts, and as a plus, you are not forced with "tricks" to become a premium user (the "download" button is visible) and you can get a (+) password protection to your files on sharing. Free users can upload files up to 200MB in size, and image files can be (-) no larger than 25MB/file. (+)You can resume a download for up to 24 hours from when you first clicked the download link. (+) For free accounts, there is currently no time limit on how long uploaded files will be stored as long as you access your account.
