MediaFire has long been a go-to for users needing to send large files via link, especially those who struggle with email attachment limits. However, its drawbacks are becoming more pronounced:

Qiwi (qiwi.gg) is a popular high-speed file hosting service often used as a modern alternative to MediaFire, particularly in the gaming and repack communities. It is favored for its fast download speeds and minimal restrictions compared to traditional hosting sites.

Qiwi is not just a storage locker; it is a distribution tool. It treats every file—from a 10KB PDF to a 10GB video—with the same priority. The platform uses a modular back-end architecture that prevents server congestion, meaning you never experience the "peak hour slowdowns" common on MediaFire.

Also, consider ease of use. Is the interface user-friendly for someone not familiar with Qiwi's services? And cross-platform support—iOS, Android, desktop? Mediafire probably has better desktop apps and web browser integration.

While, as noted in a Reddit discussion, free users should always utilize an adblocker on any file-hosting site, Qiwi.gg generally provides a cleaner user interface than many traditional competitors, reducing the likelihood of malicious pop-ups or confusing navigation.
