Mfarhanonline Social Media News: File storage and backup service MiMedia has rolled out a new version of its web-based upload utility, in the hopes of making it easier for users to back up and store content in the cloud. The new Java-based web upload client is unique because of its high file size limit. Most web-based uploaders limit users to a few hundred megabytes — or if you’re lucky, a gigabyte. MiMedia will let users upload files up to 3GB in size. That’s great for uploading large video files, especially if they are from a pocket HD camera or smartphone. (Previously, the web uploader’s file size limit was less than half a gigabyte.) MiMedia exited beta in May and gives users 7GB of free cloud storage . The company also offers monthly and yearly paid plans for more space. MiMedia is similar to Dropbox , but with a focus on media storage and automated backups, along with social sharing features . MiMedia’s major limitation: the company only offers a desktop client for Windows users. Mac OS X or Linux users can still upload files and folders and access media from the web interface, but the automated backup features are unavailable. The new web upload tool doesn’t remove the need for a separate desktop client, but it does make backing up large files and media from other machines — or from a Mac — easier. The 3GB file-size limit for web uploads opens up some interesting possibilities for users looking for a free web-sharing tool. Recently, for example, a colleague needed to upload a 2.5GB video file. His Dropbox account didn’t have enough space, and none of our video upload hosts would support such a large file. Faced with creating an FTP upload drop for him, I just gave him temporary access to my Dropbox account. MiMedia would have saved us a bunch of time. The company has also added enhanced folder and f! ile shar ing capabilities, similar to Dropbox. Users can choose to share a file or folder with a user via email or social networks. With Amazon’s news Cloud Player and Cloud Drive products competing with Apple’s upcoming iCloud service, the consumer cloud storage market is heating up. We’d still really like to see a Mac client for MiMedia for automating backups, better, more robust web uploads is a great start. How do you upload and share your media files?
