Houston, Texas based online storage and collaboration provider MediaFire today announced the launch of the Public Beta of MediaFire Desktop, a free application for OSX and Windows that enables users to instantly upload, collaborate, and share their media in the cloud, directly from their desktop.
Designed to complement MediaFire’s online storage service, MediaFire Desktop keeps your online and locally stored files safe and in sync.

MediaFire desktop combines sharing features and huge amounts of storage (50 gigs for free) with a fully automatic file-syncing app for OSX and Windows, and instant file sharing directly from your desktop and Finder window, enabling you to share files in just one click.
