On dropbox you get 2 GB of free space. However, the download and upload speeds are very slow.
You can upgrade to 1 TB for 10 dollars a month. The interface of dropbox is also not the best. You need to have an account to upload files.
Dropbox is one of the most popular and well-known free file hosting sites, because they spend tons of money for advertising. If you buy a samsung smartphone, dropbox is already installed.
Dropbox is very overrated because they spend much money on ads. There are better hoster on the web than dropbox.

On mediafire you get 15 GB free space. But if you want to download your uploaded files, you come to a page from mediafire with the download button and much ads. The whole site is full of ads and you can hardly differentiate ads from the real download button. Uploads and downloads are very slow.
You can upgrade for 5 dollars per month to 1 TB.
Mediafire is recommended if you just want to upload some files and you don’t care about much ads.

Mega

Mega is one of the best file hosting sites on the web. Formerly known as megaupload founded by kim dot com, who was born in germany and now lives in new zealand. The precursor megaupload was switched off because of breaking the law.
On mega.nz you get 50 GB completely free and the download speed is also very good.
You can upload 50 GB with your account, but you can only download 10 GB. Means you have to wait 5 months until you can download 10 GB again. But there are some ways you can bypass this (example, change ip address, but doesn’t have to work at all).
The prices for premium offers on mega are 10 dollars per month for 500 GB, but you only get a bandwith of 1 TB. This is the bad thing with mega.nz.
Mega is actually a good side to upload files, the bad thing is that there are the bandwidth limits. That is making mega worse.
