MediaFire

MediaFire is an online backup service that provides users with services such as file hosting, file sync, and cloud storage. In order to give users a better experience, MediaFire is compatible with almost all platforms, which means that you can use MediaFire to obtain or access data on Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android and web browsers.

MediaFire supports single-use links, private and public file sharing, screen capture, selective sync, notifications, and audio and video streaming. Although MediaFire has been on the market for a long time, due to its poor privacy protection, many people choose more secure cloud storage services. When using MediaFire to sync data to a computer application, MediaFire does not provide data encryption, which greatly reduces data storage security.

MEGA 

MEGA is a cloud-based storage service launched on January 20, 2013. Users can use MEGA to access files on any device with a browser. Additionally, it offers mobile apps for Windows, Android, and iOS users. With MEGA, users can easily share files on MEGA, control file versions, and secure shared links opened with keys. 

Compared to MediaFire, MEGA is one of the most secure clouds available because it uses a 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key derived from your password to encrypt and decrypt your files and folders. This means that when a user uploads a file, only the user and not MEGA's servers can decrypt the data. MEGA also includes a security feature that requires two-factor authentication, making it more secure to use.

So, summing up the above it can be seen that: if you're looking for a basic storage space to dump your files, MediaFire offers quite a bit of free storage and pretty good file size upload limits; if security is a concern, then MEGA is where you should go.
