Just like N-Gage, Ovi Files started out as a service with much potental.
But after a very mediocre launch, and no real push of the service (many phones didnt even come with the app pre-installed), Nokia have decided to pull the plug on Ovi Files, and shut it down this October 1st 2010.
From the Email Nokia sent us:
Dear Ovi Files user,
Nokia is discontinuing the Ovi Files service, effective October 1, 2010.
We apologize for the inconvenience.Please make sure to uninstall the Ovi Files Connector installed on your personal computer. To do this, execute the standard Windows or Macintosh uninstall procedure that came with your computer. You will not lose any files as a result of this service discontinuation. Ovi Files simply creates an ‘online mirror’ of the files saved on your Windows PC or Mac, so your original files will remain intact. The files on your computer are always treated as the master version, even if some are selected as ‘Anytime Files.’
You will still be able to share content between your phone and PC using another Nokia product, Nokia Ovi Suite. With Nokia Ovi Suite installed on your PC, you can do the following: sync your contacts and messages; transfer videos, photos, and music; back up your Nokia and update your device software. Please note that this is not a direct substitute for Ovi Files as Nokia Ovi Suite requires a wired connection between your PC and mobile device. For more information visit www.ovi.com/suite.
Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you will continue to enjoy our most popular services.
So yup, that’s about it. I suppose they couldnt support the costs of running the service. Ovi Files was free to use, which was one of it’s advantages.
I get the feeling Ovi Share might be the next on the list though. There’s been no update there since the dinosaurs went extinct.
