Free File Hosting Made Simple

Greetings everyone!

While we’re taking a little time off today to enjoy some family time and some Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes, I just wanted to take a moment to give our extended family of MediaFire users a quick update on what’s been going on behind the scenes.

Over the course of this week some of you may have noticed that we silently rolled out an antivirus system that will help keep every file sent over MediaFire squeaky clean. Files are scanned during the verification phase of the upload process and thus will never make it onto the MediaFire network if a virus is detected. On the other hand, the virus scan is fairly rapid process and in most cases (if no harmful software is detected) will be completely transparent to the uploader.

Besides the usual performance testing and system upgrades that we are continuously implementing as we perfect the upload and download software, we’ve also been working extra long hours to bring you a new file management system complete with almost every feature that’s been requested by our users. We’re pretty excited about the new file management system, but it’s still going to be a little while until it’s ready, so if you have any suggestions that you’ve been sitting on wishing that we’d implement, please don’t hesitate to shoot us an email and we’ll do our best to make sure the most popular ideas are included in the new release.

Thanks again and happy sharing!

MediaFire underwent a rolling tune-up this morning from 1AM to 7AM CST. We heard from several of users that there have been some difficulties recently downloading files with multi-stream download accelerators. Thanks to their feedback we’ve made some modifications to the download server software that should resolve the vast majority of these issues and improve overall compatibility with download managers in general.

A big “thank you” to everyone who’s sent in feedback, especially to those who helped identify this bug! From all of the emails we’ve been receiving, we’ve gotten some great ideas for the site as well as some invaluable real-world experiences and we’re working on some exciting new features based on your suggestions. Look forward to some of those updates in the near future!

Hi everyone!

We hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween filled with plenty of crazy pictures and videos fresh for some sharing. MediaFire makes it easy for you to upload those hefty files and share them with an unlimited number of friends via blogs and community forums, or directly by email or instant messenger. To help make it easier for you to archive all those files for sharing, we’re working hard here at MediaFire bring you a new file management system in the near future. Until then, I’d just like to let you all know that we’ve heard your requests and are also working on other updates such as our account creation method that now masks your password and asks for you to enter it twice to avoid any typos.

That’s all for now, and as always, if you should have any suggestions or comments, please feel free to drop us a message anytime!

Happy sharing!
