See for yourself, and tell us in a comment below how well you were prepared!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keyboard Shortcuts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How many MediaFire keyboard shortcuts do you think there are? 1? 5? Actually, there\u2019s a whole lot of them, 14 in fact.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start by saying that all the keyboard shortcuts on MediaFire appear in 2 windows: in the image preview window and in the \u201cMy Files\u201d window.<\/p>\n<p>In the image preview window, the keys are pretty basic and most of you have probably already used some of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Ctrl+A \u2013 Select All<\/li>\n<li>Esc \u2013 Select None<\/li>\n<li>Up\/Left Key \u2013 Previous Photo (gallery view only)<\/li>\n<li>Down\/Right Key \u2013 Next Photo (gallery view only)<\/li>\n<li>Ctrl with Drag to Select \u2013 Select more items<\/li>\n<li>Shift with Drag to Select \u2013 Select more plus items in between<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And here are the keyboard shortcuts from the \u201cMy Files\u201d page:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>U \u2013 Opens Uploader<\/li>\n<li>N \u2013 New Folder<\/li>\n<li>Ctrl+A \u2013 Select All<\/li>\n<li>Esc \u2013 Select None<\/li>\n<li>Ctrl with Drag to Select \u2013 Select more items<\/li>\n<li>Shift with Drag to Select \u2013 Select more plus items in between<\/li>\n<li>Delete \u2013 Delete selected (confirmation will appear)<\/li>\n<li>Shift + Delete \u2013 Delete selected (no confirmation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Go ahead and try these keys out next time you log in to MediaFire, and maybe you\u2019ll have a completely different experience this time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>FileDrop<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a professional or a business user, you get to enjoy the FileDrop \u2013 the simple feature that might appear complicated to many of us at first sight. But use it once, and you\u2019ll never feel confused again.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, you can make a FileDrop from scratch by checking a special box that says \u201cMake this folder a FileDrop\u201d when creating a new folder in My Files, or you can turn any of your existing folders into a FileDrop with a right click (this can be undone at any time).<\/p>\n<p>Once you got your FileDrop folder set up, you can customize it through the actions menu. You get a window that looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?abqaa28p0zx8y31\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/ece1d7350bc4ad7d1b982be33b1478443c745235c9f51e766bc03e0d9e71a51b4g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all pretty straightforward, and if you just take a second to read the titles, there should be no problem.<\/p>\n<p>Those who you want to drop files into your FileDrop folder don\u2019t have to be registered on MediaFire. Once they follow the link you give them, they will see a window like this with an upload button:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?531ztj6jp7d5d7i\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/a19c7c62f2fb8ff91d0dfd996f3a4b703221457cb506f07234116e5b889ac8594g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So say you traveled somewhere with your friends and each of them had their own cameras. Create a FileDrop, give everyone the link, let them upload all their photos there, and once everyone is finished, share the complete \u201ctrip report\u201d with those who went with you and their families and friends (as well as your own of course).<\/p>\n<p>Teaching at school or in college? Collect everyone\u2019s assignment the same way, and once the deadline is up, uncheck the FileDrop option so no one can hand in their homework after the due date.<\/p>\n<p>There are also some additional advanced options that could enhance your group productivity, such as allowing descriptions for uploads, receiving email notifications and having single or multiple file uploads. It\u2019s your choice which options you use and how much easier you want to make your life; we only give you the opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RSS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about the RSS feature, it may come very handy. Give the RSS link to any of your folders to keep your family, friends, coworkers or project group mates updated on any changes.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing all your pictures through MediaFire? Instead of having to tell all your family members and friends you have added something new, just let them subscribe to the folder with all your pictures so they get all the updates right in their Outlook or their browser. Working on a multi-part project? Exchange the subscription links with all the members and keep track of everyone\u2019s progress when each file is added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?nqcopfcmp76b7hg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/6dbc4285700669f40cae1e69fba27cf77b69a7e7e8c812d57d5c50750291635a4g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?4q4l8gy9uzxbpyp\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/551e42268454af316b22519e3eab62f113e1c47e0271f8a8da7266806534fc084g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?rbjlxf22btnqf1f\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/16753a502947f7115ba011865e93915135748c0591130b52ae3fe4befbbd8eed4g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Update Feature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did you ever share a file with someone, but then realize you forgot to update it, yet you don\u2019t want to confuse the other person with different links? Well MediaFire has a solution for that problem with its update feature.<\/p>\n<p>Simply upload the updated file to the folder containing the original file, select both of them, then open the options menu. There you\u2019ll see the \u201cUpdate File\u201d option which you\u2019ll need to select.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?zy9fy2iyzsvkbfs\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/e83f432c075bf0abf0f129ffcdb18d73f6333f79ac2d2b62661c83a4f4ecaf624g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you do that, you\u2019ll see a window that looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?h91wd96wqh9kuvf\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/7712fa5ad6263d07601014c5adaae5628439a16367704e7d527e283298475b1d4g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Make sure you have the right image replacing the old one (you can swap them any time), and click OK. What you get is an updated file that still has the same URL so you don\u2019t need to give a new link to whomever you have already shared the file with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How often do those of you who are professional and business users refer to your account statistics on MediaFire? In fact, they provide you with complete and accurate information regarding all your files, be that the files that you store now or the ones you stored a while back and that are no longer there. Just go to My Account on top of the page and then choose Statistics on the left side. There you can click on the \u201cView Statistics\u201d button that will generate a chart report for you. You also have the option of printing a report or exporting it in a CSV file.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/view\/?xtyi97z12r17shn\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/bc7d097d12099dc3c15c90330d35a29359502a233a77302f339b029027f6219f4g.png\" alt=\"Simple, Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We hope this was helpful and all of you found out something new and exciting.
