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. I was a first generation hardcore and hearing that vinyl just brings me back The CD is shit compared to the vinyl. I have no idea why they sped it up and changed the pitch. Thank you for the Bad Brains albums and my congratulations on the text that starts the post.
Greetings from Leicester! Thanks for filling in some gaps in my collection. Good day!

If there is something on here that you want removed, and have a valid reason, feel free to say so. Bored Shitless Yeah, that good looking guy right there is me ;. Info To Know I got this blog going cause I love hunting for bonus tracks and b-sides.
I feel that my listening experience to an album is more personal if I have at least 1 bonus track so i'm trying to spread that feeling to others. I'm also in my own band so on occasion i'll put up something here for people to download and give feedback on. You can check us out on myspace.
