Mediafire storage space

[bra00724]

Hi, I'm wondering what will happen when 50 GB storage space will end..... Actually it already did. But I still can upload new files. Why? Does it mean my old files will be deleted to make space for a new one? I couldn't find an answer.

According to the site the 50gb is the standard amount for new accounts, perhaps also for now existing accounts. Only inactivity can get those things removed.
See here for details; https://www.mediafire.com/upgrade/

I have account almost 4 years and over 65 Gb files. I'm still confused. Does it mean I have unlimited storage? Because I can still upload new files. I don't get it.

You never used the paid feature did you? Perhaps it uses a same system as dropbox in which you can increase your storage without paying but by inviting friends etc.
You can see how much space you have under the My Account tab (you get a bar with how much space you have, you've used and how much is still free), if there are any weird problems there then I would suggest contacting Mediafire.

I never had paid accout. The point is... I'm already way over my limit but I still can upload files without any problem. So I was courious is this is a bug or... if my old files are deleted to make a space for a new one (it doesn't look like it though). I don't want to contact mediafire. What if they tell my to pay for more storage?
Here is screen print of my account.

There might be a buffer zone, like a percentage of gb that you can pass.
I'm not sure if it is a bug, but if you do contact them they will most likely correct it and delete the files, if they find out about this along the way the same thing happens. With dropbox you had a time of 2 weeks to back up the files they would remove before deleting them and they let you know about it.
Ofc if you contact them they will tell you to use the paid pro method for more storage, they do not enforce this automatically ofc.
How long ahve you been over this limit? Perhaps there are file restrictions on the other uploaded files such as other people not being able to download it, I don't know really since I never had this problem or perhaps blessing.

I read that space limit operate sine July. I discovered it today. Earlier I didn't see a little green bar on the left. I'm not complaining I'm happy. Or maybe this have something to do with bandwidth served (supposed friends ). I don't know. I already found a new unlimited host where I can put my files. It's paid but it's on polish server so it's more convenient and cheaper for me.
Thanks for all your help.
