In an attempt to gain on market, file hosting service MediaFire has launched a Dropbox-like application for OS X and Windows which lets users upload files directly from their desktops to the cloud, and share them with others.
The beta version of MediaFire Desktop has the same type of file syncing features found in Dropbox but with up to 50GB of free cloud storage.
If you are to compare, Dropbox starts you off with 2GB of free space, though you can get up to 16GB free via referrals.
