Just got an email from Nokia that Says – Nokia is discontinuing the Ovi Files Service, effective October 1, 2010.

Shocking, Everything was going great but suddenly about 1 month ago I noticed that Nokia has removed its Ovi Files service portal log-in from its Landing page Ovi.com, now that’s the reason behind this. Any way this eamil announcement was straight with no reason about why Nokia is going to close its Ovi Files service.

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:
