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, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, BlackBerry 10, and web browsers. MediaFire has 43 million registered users and attracted 1.3 billion unique visitors to its domain in 2012.
As of July 2012[update], 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).
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.
Business account storage is shared across all sub accounts allowing for single billing and management of multiple users at a single company. 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).
MediaFire currently offers downloadable clients for mobile devices and desktop computers which vary significantly in terms of capabilities and types of usage.
MediaFire originally released Android (January 2013) and iOS (July 2012) clients based on the Appcelerator framework and updated them with native versions in 2014. The mobile apps provide importing of photos and video taken on the device, and remote access to the contents of your MediaFire account.
