MediaFire is a file hosting, file synchronization, and cloud storage service based in Shenandoah, Texas, United States. Founded in June 2006 by Derek Labian and Tom Langridge, the company provides client software for Microsoft Windows,Mac OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, and web browsers.[2] MediaFire has 37 million registered users and attracted 1.3 billion unique visitors to its domain in 2012.

Storage[edit]
As of July 2012, features of MediaFire include up to 50 GB of storage (starting at 10 GB then increased by as much as 40 GB when various activities like installing mobile or desktop clients, or when sharing on Facebook and Twitter are done).[4]
In April 2014, MediaFire responded to reduced pricing from Google Drive’s by increasing its professional storage plan from 100GB to 1TB and reducing its monthly price to US$2.50 per month.[5]
Business account storage is shared across all sub accounts allowing for single billing and management of multiple users at a single company.[6] MediaFire's free account service does not require download activity in order to preserve files, and is thus often suitable as a backup only solution. MediaFire does not officially support free data warehousing (long-term storage for free and inactive accounts).[7]
