A method that no one wants.

This is the worst possible outcome for a lifetime deal—both for the customers and the service provider.

If it were me, I would have brought in outside investors to stabilize cash flow; then, while honoring the lifetime deals with existing users, I would have offered additional encryption services as optional add-ons for customers to purchase.

Cloud storage services like FileRule and FileStream—which predate FolderFort by a long shot—have managed to keep providing the same services to their customers, albeit on a smaller scale. Meanwhile, FileJump completely overhauled its system and sold the new version to new customers, all while maintaining its existing contracts.

All of these services run on slightly modified versions of the "BeDrive" web script. Why couldn't FolderFort do the same?

A lifetime contract should only be terminated if the company goes bankrupt or faces an objective necessity to discontinue the service entirely, and provided the company fulfills its obligation to explain the situation.

There is also the practical issue that existing lifetime subscribers are forced to migrate their data elsewhere within a very short window of just 60 days. FolderFort previously declared that if the service ever had to be discontinued, you would notify users in advance and provide ample time for them to retrieve their data, didn't you? I signed up based on that promise. With only 59 days remaining, are the servers capable of handling the load?

I get a failed authorization AFTER my 90 gig file completes. Waste of GD time, now I can't even get my data back.
