Description:
Today the MediaFire team announced the Beta release of MediaFire’s first software application – MediaFire Express (MFE). This Windows, Mac, and Linux compatible application makes it easier than ever to upload files from your computer to your MediaFire account.
You can download MediaFire Express from their new “Tools” section here.
MediaFire Express is currently in Beta testing and the UI is still a rough proof of concept, so expect a couple bugs if you decided to give it a try. This product helps MediaFire to test some of the new tools they are developing and lays the groundwork for future products that will be released later this year.
