The popular file sharing website Mediafire is now providing unlimited cloud storage space. When compared to the free 5GB and 7GB offered by Google Drive and SkyDrive, it's a compelling lure – but what's the catch?

Well, the files will be removed on inactive accounts. So you can't use it as an unlimited data backup service. You will actually have to use the service on regular basis.

Three tiers of accounts are available. All come with unlimited storage.

• Free – 200MB file size limit, files removed on inactive accounts, lack of other features
  
• $9/m – 4GB file-size limit, custom folder links, ad free, statistics, more
  
• $49/m – 10GB per file size limit, custom domain, more

There is a MediaFire desktop client available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, called MediaFire Express. Watch the video below to know what the desktop client can do:

It's still the old Mediafire now with a Windows program for syncing your files. People will still use it mainly for sharing files on the web.

Additional web storage can be useful

Does anyone know after how many weeks or months of inactivity the account will be deleted?

Megaupload got shut down because of being a filehost. Dont you think Mediafire could get shut down too later, because of the same reason?

Mediafire actually removes files that infringe IP laws proactively.

no lol because ever since the megaupload shutdown, filehosting services got scared, stopped anon uploads, and mix themselves in with apple, microsoft, and google by renaming themselves "cloud storage" to avoid prosecution.

Ok, well i just thought that if Mediafire is going to play Cloud storage then it wouldnt be too great to put your files there and one day in near future the site is gone, with a post around news sites. xD
