MediaFire Alternative: Transfer Big Files Of Any Size
Filemail Vs MediaFire Overview
In this comparison we take a look at why Filemail is a superior MediaFire alternative. MediaFire has some of the lowest prices on the market, and when you look at what they offer, you understand why. A bare-bones cloud based file transfer solution that suffices if all you want is some online storage, and to send files with no regards for speed, security and compliance.
These are not the only limitations with MediaFire. It is woefully lacking in features that are imperative where file storage and file sharing of multiple files, is part of a business's workflow.
Both MediaFire and Filemail offer mobile apps for iPhone or iPad, and for Android. However, Filemail also offer dedicated desktop apps for Macs and Windows, with UDP transfer acceleration.

A Superior MediaFire Alternative
Robust Security & Privacy
MediaFire doesn't encrypt any files that you upload and share, which in this day and age, is asking for trouble. The only protection of your files offered by MediaFire is password protection. On the other hand our file sharing service offers anti-virus, data encryption and password protection.
Unlimited File Transfer Size
When it comes to sending very large files with MediaFire, you can't. You can only send a file of up to 50 GB maximum. Professionals and businesses in many fields work with huge files, so MediaFire isn't an option. With our file hosting service you can send a file of any size.
Legislative & Regulatory Compliance
With MediaFire you can't control traffic. Coupled with the lack of data encryption, lack of detailed activity and delivery tracking, means that MediaFire falls short of the need for stringent access rights, and full auditable trails. Filemail is fully compliant with a number of global and regional legislation, and industry regulatory mandates.
A Full-Featured Solution
MediaFire has chosen to position themselves on price, which are the lowest on the market. This has been achieved in part by the removal of features and platforms that don't take into account users differing needs. With our file sharing service, we have chosen to position ourselves with an evolving solution that meets the needs of various stakeholders.
