Automatically sync your music and videos to the cloud using MediaFire Desktop<\/strong><\/p>\n Available for OSX and Windows, MediaFire Desktop<\/a> makes it easy to back up and sync your music and movies to the cloud, so that you can access them from anywhere through any device.<\/p>\n The simplest way to get all of your media into the cloud is through moving your existing iTunes library into your MediaFire Desktop shared folder. This will enable you to automatically sync your iTunes playlists, movies, and music between several computers (at home and at work for example), and will insure that all of your media is automatically protected in the cloud.<\/p>\n To do this, you’ll need to move your library into the MediaFire Desktop folder, then point iTunes towards its new location \u2014 hold down the Shift key when launching it on Windows or the Alt\/Option key on a Mac to do this. Once your library has uploaded (we recommend setting your computer to do this overnight), you’re ready to set it up on another computer.<\/p>\n Need to use the internet while you are syncing media? MediaFire Desktop uses a smart-uploading speed detector, which will automatically slow down or speed up uploads and downloads based on your bandwidth use.<\/p>\n 3. Instantly recover deleted files<\/strong><\/p>\n Did you accidently delete an important file? Unlike other cloud storage services, files that are deleted on MediaFire are automatically moved to your \u201ctrash\u201d<\/a> folder, where they can be accessed and recovered at any time. To restore a deleted file, login to our web interface and click on the \u201ctrash\u201d folder. You can restore individual files, or click the \u201crestore all\u201d menu item to bring any folder back.<\/p>\n 4. Share and collaborate on files with friends<\/strong><\/p>\n MediaFire\u2019s \u201cshared folders\u201d feature makes it east for you to collaborate and share files with friends. To use this powerful feature, when someone sends you a file using MediaFire, simply click the \u201cFollow\u201d button in the top corner. The files will instantly be added to your \u201cfollowing\u201d list in your MediaFire home folder. If you have MediaFire Desktop<\/a>, any files that you are \u201cfollowing\u201d will be automatically downloaded and synced to your desktop.<\/p>\n 5. Easily share large files and folders<\/strong><\/p>\n MediaFire was originally developed back in 2006 as a simple solution for sharing large files online. We\u2019ve recently added several new features that make sharing files with others online easier than ever, even if the person you’re sharing with doesn’t have a MediaFire account.<\/p>\n With MediaFire Desktop<\/a> installed, you can you can share any file or folder located in your \u201cMediaFire\u201d folder (located in your favorites list) by right-clicking it and choosing “Share through MediaFire”. This will bring up a menu detailing the different file sharing options available, including sharing through Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, Tumblr, and even Blogger. You can also add a contact\u2019s name or email address directly to add them as a \u201cfollower\u201d to a file, and can even generate a one-time download link for sensitive files.<\/p>\n 6. Sync files selectively to your desktop from the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n When you first install MediaFire Desktop<\/a>, you are able to select which files you would like to sync locally to your computer. However, if you change your mind, you can always add or remove which files are synced through the options menu in MediaFire Desktop. Simply select the \u201csync folder\u201d option in settings to update your selected files.<\/p>\n 7.
