There is no storage limit, but also like RapidShare, your files will be deleted after certain period of time. Files are shared via a link. Users get 5GB for free, and can share via a direct link to a file, or can invite users to view the contents of an entire folder by email.

This includes the assertion that the company was forced into a hostile takeover by Chinese investors, and that the New Zealand government has since confiscated the shares from said investors, now exercising direct control over the service. The claims get more outlandish from there, with perhaps the most eyebrow-raising one being that the service is run by a shadowy collection of Hollywood executives.
MEGA itself has repeatedly denied these allegations, and Dotcom has been unable to provide any proof. As we mentioned briefly in the last section, Kim Dotcom is the notorious founder of Megaupload. His first arrest in was a bit less glamorous — he was arrested and held in custody for a month for selling stolen phone numbers. Seemingly unfazed, Dotcom was arrested again in , this time for additional hacking charges and convicted on multiple counts of computer fraud and data espionage.
In , he again ran into legal trouble when he purchased a large number of stocks in a company called LetsBuyIt. Following his purchase, he announced that he planned to invest 50 million euros in the company, causing the stock price to soar and earning him a profit of 1.
To avoid prosecution for market manipulation, Dotcom fled to Thailand but was nonetheless arrested there and handed over to the German embassy. After being transported back to his home country, he pled guilty to embezzlement and spent five months in jail before receiving yet another suspended sentence. Probably fed up with the German authorities, he finally moved to Hong Kong in , where he incorporated various companies, including Megaupload. He eventually moved to New Zealand in , receiving residency status after investing 10 million New Zealand dollars in the economy.
While living in New Zealand, Dotcom got entangled in a political scandal revolving around his financial contributions to John Banks, the mayor of Auckland at the time. Banks was initially convicted for this, though he was later exonerated. Dotcom faced no legal consequences for his involvement in the scandal. When the January indictment from U. Nevertheless, local law enforcement raided his residence two weeks later and arrested Dotcom and several of his associates — including Mathias Ortmann, CTO and co-founder of Megaupload — though a judge quickly released them on bail.
Through all the legal twists and turns in the following decade, Kim Dotcom remained in New Zealand, making periodic public appearances and headlines, usually regarding his case or the successor to his file-sharing website, MEGA. The charges brought against Kim Dotcom are varied, but the main thrust boils down to the allegation that Megaupload was fully aware that the website was used for copyright infringement and chose to do nothing about it.
In fact, the charges claim that the website actively encouraged such behavior by incentivizing users with popular downloads while removing files that received little attention.
The fact that the website was fully capable of policing the content it hosted is hard to dispute, seeing as it had systems in place to crack down on more nefarious file-sharing activities like child pornography. The said provision protects websites that host copyrighted content so long as the websites either have no knowledge of it or act to remove the content once aware of it.
Aside from the general copyright infringement case, the U. Since Dotcom resides in New Zealand, but the warrant for his arrest is in the U. Despite being the third most popular one-click file-hoster after Rapidshare and MediaFire Megaupload does not have many file-search engines meant to search files hosted on their network, compared to the vast amount of dedicated third-party Rapidshare Search Engines there exist only a few meant for Megaupload, most of these file search-engines work on similar scripts which scrap results from specially crafted Google search queries, We can use the same Google search queries directly as discussed earlier to search files on Mediafire changing the query from site:mediafire.
