Simple. Don't. MediaFire doesn't support FTP, SFTP, or any usable backup protocol.
Why don't you get a storage VPS and mount it via SSHFS?
Also can't store single files that are bigger than 20 GB (according to their website).
Never tried it but I know that something exists;
https://github.com/MediaFire/mediafire-fuse
(Mount it and just make a bash script and use a cron)
hubic is probably the best deal. only €5 and has a archive feature rather than sync everything like mediafire.
Lift your hands up, and place them down on hubic instead.
Thanks, I know the part with the script and cron. Mounting part looks very promising. I am installing the fuse now
I have to agree 10TB for 5 Euros per months is way better deal than MediaFire.
How "business friendly" is Hubic? Do they surcharge businesses like MediaFire or Google ?
how would they know if you are a business ?
Well that's the other thing. They would not know.
I just installed and compiled fuse on small 512M debian vps, it went well.
In this link is better description on install process than README file: http://tuxdiary.com/2015/01/21/mediafire-linux-tools/
There is subtle changes I had to do:
Btw. shell is little awkward because you need to use the "quickkeys" instead of file names but mounting as network share works well.
For now I will use MF because I don't need 10TB. Plus I already have MF account, I don't even need 1TB. But good to know about Hubic for the future reference. Thanks everyone!
hubiC is yhe ugliest cloud storage I've evee tried. The application is slow and resources hungry. Speeds re ridiculous: around 10 Mbps. Webapp is useless and space gets counted even if you delete everything (bug).
webapp is slow, but the actual upload and downloads speeds via the app are pretty much unlimited.
the resource hungry bit is because it needs to find files and changes. this only lasts a short ammount of time
I can't speak for the Windows client. The Linux client is as I describe.
safe to assume it would be just as good
If you enjoy the service good for you. My experience was negative Just my 2 cents.
