Frequently Asked Questions
How does Mediadrive protect my files during transfer?
We take your privacy seriously. All files sent via Mediadrive are protected using end-to-end encryption during transfer.
- Only the sender and receiver can access the file.
- We never see, store, or analyze the content.
- Transfers happen peer-to-peer when possible, with no permanent storage.
- For added security, files are automatically deleted after the transfer is complete or after a short expiration period.
What data do you collect from users?
Mediadrive collects only the essential, non-personal information required to operate and improve the service. This includes:
- Browser and device type
- Approximate location (city-level only)
- General usage stats (e.g., number of transfers, performance metrics)
We do not collect or store personal data or the contents of your files. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
How long are my files stored?
We do not store files permanently. Files are held temporarily during the transfer process and are:
- Automatically deleted after successful delivery
- Removed after a short period if the recipient doesn’t download them
There are no backups, archives, or file history — your data is never retained.
Does Mediadrive use advertising?
Yes — Mediadrive is free to use thanks to ads. We partner with trusted ad networks like Google AdSense to serve relevant ads while you use the platform. These ads help us keep the service accessible to everyone without subscriptions or paywalls.
We don’t sell your data. Some ad providers may use cookies to personalize your experience — this is explained in our Privacy Policy.
