File Hosting Made Simple

Hi all,

Just another quick update to let everyone know about some performance upgrades we’ve just rolled out for the My Files page. While all of the updates are behind the scenes, most users should see a performance increase of 60% to 75% and in some cases up to 30 times faster.

Thanks again for all the feedback, we’ll keep you posed as we continue to roll out updates and new features.

Hi all,

Just a quick update regarding the image system and our newly supported image formats.
All images site-wide should be back to normal including any images now supported by the new system. We now support all jpg, png, png 24/32, ico, tff, pcx, bmp, and gif images and any previously uploaded images of those formats will now be displayed with thumbnails and embed links as well.

Thanks again for your patience and as always keep the feedback coming, we love to hear how you’re using the site.

I hope everyone’s having a great Monday today.  We released another set of updates to the site early this morning that updated a wide range of features and fixed some pesky bugs.  These updates and fixes include:

• Sorting order and number of files shown per page are now saved between visits to the My Files page and shared folders
• Bug fixed that caused false positives for a virus when password protected zip files are uploaded.
• Added a link when you visit your own shared folder that helps you return to your My Files page to manage your files.
• Fixed status messages that would sometimes disappear right away
• Increased the maximum file name size from 40 characters to 100 characters to support longer file names

With any luck, this should conclude our launch cycle of the this latest version of MediaFire and MediaPro services. With most of the small updates and fixes rolled out we’re proceeding with the development of some exciting new features to further enhance the site. Help guide the development of MediaFire by submitting your feedback and suggestions. We read every one of them, and we’d love to hear what would make MediaFire even more useful for you in your daily life.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

We’ve made a fix today that should help out many of our international users. MediaFire now supports all language character sets so if you’ve been uploading files with international characters in the file names you can now expect them to be displayed correctly throughout the site.

We also released a new version of the flash uploader that should fix a few small bugs and includes some visual updates as well as updated our image hosting system to fix a bug that was resulting in “File Not Found” images for some image uploads. That’s all for now, it’s time for some Olympic beach volleyball semifinals!

Cheers,
