With most cloud storage services you do not get more than a few GB of free space. Skydrive with 7GB free yet generous, Google and Dropbox offer Drive respectively 5 and 2 GB for free. File Hoster MediaFire going there for a while heavily over. The site launched Wednesday its Android app and new users get up to 50 GB of free space.
Through his site offers Mediafire since last summer free 50 GB accounts, but there were no mobile apps. This autumn there was already an iOS app. And now, the site also houses the 50GB for Android users, with hardly any restrictions. The app can also directly upload screenshots and videos. But an option to automatically save all your photos via wifi to upload, like the Dropbox app, is still lacking. Folders automatically synchronize with other devices, such as Dropbox, MediaFire offers currently.
The app is only useful for those much free storage for files in the cloud will, and who want to share files with others. MediaFire is not suitable for easy syncing with multiple devices. According MediaFire come eventually Dropbox-like sync options, but there may need to be paid for.
The main limitation of the free accounts the maximum filesize: 200 MB. Files are also available with the free accounts to share with others, but they come first or on a page with ads correctly. Accounts that have been inactive for too long by Mediafire removed.
Mediafire is best known as a place where your music, movies or software to download, just like before when Megaupload. But the site wants more known as a personal file vault, a place for your own files. The Dropbox competitor came last week with new features for dealing with saved photos.
