Since a lot of people are recommended Mega over anything else, I'm assuming they use it. Frankly I find Mega to be annoying. The whole encryption thing is something that has made me want to turn away from Mega and just go back to Mediafire.

 

One moment I can share the link to the archive I've uploaded and the next I can't any more. What's the deal?

 

Right now, I'm not seeing anything Mega has worthwhile with this security feature that is making it impossible to share anything.

 

Nevermind about a response. I'm convinced that Mega is not worth my time. I'll keep using MediaFire. Much more reliable and no hassle on uploading nor sharing files.

I'm still surprised anyone still uses mediafail and that it hasn't died yet. I know half if not more of their customers dumped them after that BS that they pulled last year.

 

It is mostly just a virus riddled popup riddled site. It also has the www.Mediafire.com virus after it has been installed, it will change the current homepage to www.Mediafire.com and makes that domain your default websearch system. These changes are made to promote the mentioned website and its content/advertisements that are commercial. In addition to increase it's ad views, the virus will make the www.Mediafire.com website to popup on screen again and again. Besides doing this annoying spam, Mediafire.com virus will steal your private information by observing browser data. 

 

Last time I used mediafail it's popups were redirect popups that wouldn't let you do anything but click on what they wanted you to click on. Though that tactic failed as all I did was crash the flash addon for the browser in task manager which in turn crashed their fail popup tactic page which allowed me to kill it safely.

I have 0 files uploaded to mediafire atm. But I find it far more reliable than Mega. The whole encryption thing is just stupid. I went through hell trying to share two files with someone because it wouldn't work until it finally did. Then shortly after I logged into Mega again I couldn't share them because of the encryption. I was going to share some files people have been asking for here but because Mega is being stupid nonstop, the encryption isn't allowing me to share and I don't feel like waiting when ever Mega stops being Megadumb to allow me to share the files with no hassle. I'm pretty sure there's a trick to it, but their little security crap is annoying. Plus, it's not firefox friendly and I have no desire to use Chrome just to use Mega. I'll keep my eyes open on another fileshare that isn't pretending to be invincible.

I am getting confused between Mediafire and Mega.. Which one is better? Why?

I use dropbox but the free version I have some added space for jumping through hoops and can use it to give a link to someone to download what I have been working on and sometimes in the past work on a mod with someone using the same folder shared. so it is nice but I need more space. I would like to be able to store somewhere with some space to do this. With this thread.. I am just not sure of which one is the one to use :unsure: \

 

Yes. I am opening a hornet's nest with that comment. I know. Can't really be helped.

To share files when using mega just click the file that you want to share then click the get link tab to get the download link for it and copy the link that is below the files name or right click the file and select get link and away you go. Easy peasy.

 

Mega you get 50 gigs free for free user. I have had mega since mediafails fail last year though for awhile I couldn't get into my account and I thought they must of deleted my account but the other day I got a email stating that if I didn't sign in before this time my account would be deleted. So I did a bunch of trying again till I finally figured out the correct login and email I used and now have my account back. Now that I can access it might go through it and start deleting anything CBBE since it's not the best body to try to convert to other body types with the clothing converter. 

 

Mega uses decryption keys mega's cryptographic security model depends on the confidentiality of the keys displayed above which are the download links each file. Avoid transmitting them through insecure channels!

 

A few times I had to pass on dropbox stuff because it would try to force you to get a account just to download some shit that was being hosted there.

Thanks myuhinny.

I am not concerned with loosing my files except for the pain in the A$$ to re-upload them. I am mostly concerned with exposure to virus and personal info etc. I believe I have an account with Mega but really just got confused with the process. I might have to revisit it again. Dropbox is fine however it has a finite limit on bandwidth usage for sharing especially with the free account. Free account is the only way to go IMO... :)

 

Mediafire is the one that had the meltdown recently correct? This is the one that caused everybody trouble. I never trust the online backups. I use them maybe to sync the files I have but never for soul backups. Hell I don't even consider them backups. I can handle that myself. ;). However it is fast becoming the wave of the future. :(

Last year mediafail started deleting everyones files willy nilly for no reason and were handing out strikes to everyone like they were going out of style. Lots of people lost a lot of shit they could never get back because of it. After that many dumped them and started using other alternatives instead of mediafail. There are a few threads on LL that listed all of the shit mediafail was doing during that stunt they pulled. I remember LDW (Lostdaywalker) who had a lot of files of his armor conversions uploaded to mediafail his files started getting deleted strike after strike handed out by mediafail to them for the files that were being deleted. All said files were armor conversions that they did. Good thing was that they still had them on their computer and grabbed the others before they disappeared and reuploaded them elsewhere and dumped mediafail.

Yea. even though that wouldn't hurt me generally.. I don't' want to deal with companies that treat their users that way. I vaguely remember this. Doesn't mean I wouldn't use it for some projects etc (for some added space) but nothing urgent and critical. ;). And only if I ran out of space for my main files elsewhere.

Well, every time I share a link it has that encryption key shennanigans. I'm not understanding the whole insecure channel thing you are talking about.

 

And files take much longer to upload. I tested it with mediafire (same file) and it uploaded it in a matter of seconds. Mega took over 2 hours with errors in between and having to start over. That's not the real big issue, it's the encryption that refuses to get the download to appear.

The insecure channel thing pops up whenever you use the get link to get your files download link it's hard to miss it has a big ass yellow triangle at the bottom of mega's page unless the warning goes away when you click the X to close the warning tab and it doesn't come back have no clue I never bothered clicking the X to close it.

Then it's unavoidable for me. I get that every single time for every file I manage to upload. And I can't even get a 11kb file to upload on Mega right now. It's got to be issues with Firefox as I've read it was made for Chrome for so and so reasons. OBOOM that k2 mentioned seems promising. So long as it is user friendly (for me at least).

That is pretty much the standard rules for sites like this. One should always have a personal backup with sites like this.. however keep in mind that Swiss have privacy laws. So long as someone don't report the files they likely shouldn't scan them. ;). Unlike other US and other government companies that regularly scan all the content that they and review it. Just not necessary. Scan for virus or damaging files yes. Scan to review if something is pornographic.. waste of time. Besides much of what is pornographic is interpretation.

There is alot there. Now if they have their servers on their soil.. then it is pretty dam good. If they have some of them in US or whatever maybe not so good. The clause does allow for the local law enforcment to access the data with rules. In US pretty much anything the fed wants to peek at .. is pretty much allowed and enforced. So .. their peepers will see all the porn that is uploaded.. lol.

 

Generally I believe (coming from where they are headquartered and created company from) that they will pretty much leave stuff alone unless something was brought to their attention. I for one am fine with that. There is a need for companies that hold data to be sure they aren't allowing some Pedo or terrorist hosting some data on their servers that could cause serious harm to people. That can and should be taken care of by law enforcement doing their tasks. Following up on leads. etc. Hell they even brought down the silk road (in TOR) by nothing more than detective work. ;)..
