OneDrive also offers ransomware detection and recovery to paid plans. The Microsoft 365 Personal plan gives you a hefty 1TB of storage, and the family plan gets 6TB. A free plan gives you 5GB of storage, which is more than Dropbox but less than Google Drive. Nonetheless, OneDrive integrates nicely with Microsoft 365/Office 365 (not surprising) and Microsoft’s mobile apps, and it offers real-time collaboration in Office documents. As is often the case with Microsoft, OneDrive features and capabilities can vary from one version to another (such as personal and business accounts). Microsoft’s OneDrive had an awkward youth, stumbling from name to name: Windows Live Folders, Windows Live SkyDrive, and now OneDrive. We feel that the faster speeds in tests #2 and #3 were achieved due to MediaFire recognizing that the same file was being uploaded. * Initial test was about 2 minutes, but subsequent uploads of the same file took 10 and 7 seconds, respectively. (Prices shown are for annual payments.)Īdditional features with paid plans: Ad-free downloads and sharing, download entire folders upload from any website customizable branding detailed security log. Paid accounts : Pro: 1 user, 1TB storage, $3.75/month Business: 100 users, 100TB storage, $40/month. Without those details, it’s best to assume that data stored on MediaFire is not encrypted, and the service should not be used for sensitive documents. But the site provides no specific file storage security details, and the company did not respond when we contacted them.
The company’s terms of service say, “we work hard to store your data safely and securely,” and its Business plan offers security tools that track the actions taken by user accounts as well as the location, referring domain, and data transfer totals when anyone accesses a file. One important caveat: The other services in this roundup offer detailed security information that’s easy to find on their site, but we couldn’t find any specifics on the MediaFire site about encryption or other data protection. The service is very easy to use, with an intuitive interface.
You can share file links on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and other sites by generating a one-time download link. Macs and Windows PCs access MediaFire via a web browser, but the company does offer apps for iOS and Android. The ad-supported free service lets you upload files up to 4GB, which is very generous, and the service automatically scans files for viruses, which not every file-syncing service offers. With competitive rates and a free plan that offers 10GB of storage (comparable to Box’s free plan), it may be worth a test drive for the budget-minded. MediaFire is a lesser-known file sharing/storage service.
