Overview

MediaFire stores photos, documents, audio and video in the cloud and shares them by link, email, website or social network. Files are uploaded in bulk through a web browser or its mobile and desktop apps, then organised with a file manager that handles copying, moving and access control. Pro adds 1TB of storage, ad-free access, direct download links and bulk ZIP downloads.

Best for: Individuals and small groups sharing large files by public download link on a free account.
Pricing: The captured text shows no prices: it advertises a free account and paid Professional and Business plans behind a 'View Pro Pricing' link.
Runs on: Android
