As of October 1 2010 Nokia will discontinue OVI Files, according to an email send out to OVI users. Nokia recommend it’s users “to uninstall the Ovi Files Connector installed.” According to them this won’t affect the files on your PC, but you will loose online mirroring of files already on your PC or Mac:
“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.”
Instead of backing up to the cloud, Nokia strangely recommends using OVI Suite, which falls in a totally different category.
If you still need online backup, there are plenty of free choice out there including Windows Live SkyDrive and ADrive.
Did you use OVI Files a lot? WIll you miss it?
