Log In to Mediafire – Secure Login for File Sharing and Storage

Cloud computing solutions are almost as old as the Internet itself. In 2023, the best cloud storage services tend to offer similar services. With this in mind, it’s important to keep an eye out for new and innovative uses of cloud storage. The right cloud storage service can boost the capabilities of a flimsy laptop or turn a smartphone into a mobile office.

Decentralized security

This story begins in 2013, when the University of Lorraine started offering on-premises storage solutions and sharing data. just as many teachers and researchers were not satisfied with the storage options of services such as Google Drive and Dropbox (for security reasons).

In late 2013, the digital department commissioned one of its system administrators, Benjamin Seclier, with a project to install such a tool on the site. When choosing software, many French universities share the philosophy of the University of Lorraine, where priority is given to open source software. At that time, few open source applications met these functional requirements and ownCloud was selected as the most suitable option at that time. The platform was implemented in 2014 and was eventually succeeded by Nextcloud Hub a few years later.

Why do we choose TCP instead of UDP?

The debate between the performance of UDP and TCP ended years ago. Yes, UDP is considered the fastest method of data transfer, but that speed comes at a price. And that price is technical debt in the form of IT support, lost packages, maintenance, and hours spent training staff.

MASV chose TCP for good reasons:

Unlimited file sizes

You can upload files containing many terabytes of data without worrying about interruptions. With enough server memory, resumable uploads can be used with large files.

Getting disconnected while uploading a large, mission-critical file or set of files can be extremely frustrating. FileCloud now has a fail-safe built into your browser to save your upload progress in the event of connection interruptions or power outages.
