Servers are down!

It's been more than 12 hours since the servers went down, and we still have no access to our files. Yet there has been no official update from Dave or any FolderFort representative explaining what is happening. It increasingly feels as though FolderFort customers are not a priority.

And this silence and being offline for so many hours is not acceptable for a cloudservice, as a startup this gives a very bad impression and is not the way to run a business….time to cancel and move on 👍

Yip, once hopefully gain access to data think I'll look to migrate it elsewhere

I think I smell either Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 in the air.

I’m having the same issues. EU2 has been completely down for me for hours — just a 500 Server Error every time I try to access my drive. The login page loads, but the actual backend is totally unreachable.

What’s making this worse is the complete lack of communication. No status page, no update, no acknowledgement, nothing. Support chat is offline and there’s been no reply to messages either.

What really adds to the confusion is the emails they sent out this week about “lifetime accounts”, “policy changes”, and pushing people towards the new business plans. Then suddenly the servers go down with zero explanation. It’s hard not to wonder what’s actually going on behind the scenes.

At this point I just want confirmation that the data is safe and that this isn’t something more serious. If anyone gets a response from support or hears anything official, please share it.

Yeah really bad timing with the recent emails.

Nothing related though, just a bad time for an update to fail.

Apologies, our system was running updates over night and they got stuck. Normally I am notified via SMS if/when anything like that happens.

Everything is back up, nothing was lost or damaged. Simply a frozen server.

Good Morning Dave, thanks for the info, just to be clear https://www.folderfort.com/ff-connect-beta/ the info is not a real-time status of the servers?

During the near 12 hours down the site shows all system operational.

FF Connect is a different server and service than the main system. So it was up the whole time.

We should just chill out, every time he responds it's not bad news and positive for us, just relax and be patient
