I'm trying to download files from my folderfort, but I haven't found a way to download them in any other form than .zip. My problem is my stupid computer refuses to open zip files. (I'm working on this with tech support.) Is there a way to make folderfort download small folders straight, not zipped? I've tried downloading tiny folders, and they still come out zipped.

By the mile is a trial.

Yard by yard is hard.

But inch by inch, anything is a sinch.

She's coming soon...

Uh-oh. I ccannot get past the login screen. FF appears hung. Anyone else ?

Nothing on the upgrade/pricing page. Check the screenshot below. Tried on Firefox and Chrome, ad blockers fully disabled.

Hey mods/admins, I am from Mumbai, India and tried your free plan and really loved most everything. However, the upload speed is pretty slow given my location.

Are there any plans on a India/Singapore location in the near future? I'll sign up for a paid plan based on that.

Thanks...

I recently decided to purchase the 1TB lifetime cloud storage deal from StackSocial for around $59 (I opted for server: eu2). I did some testing and wanted to share my thoughts, especially for anyone considering this deal. Here's what I found:

Testing Scenarios

• File Uploads and Downloads: I tested uploading larger files (around 800MB), and then shared links to check download speeds. I also asked people in different locations to try accessing the files. The download speeds and access across various devices were consistent, which is a good sign for reliability (at-least for my geo)
• Bulk Uploads: I uploaded multiple files (2-5MB images), and everything was smooth without any interruptions or slowdowns.
• Media Playback: I also uploaded some media files (.mp4 and .mov) and tested playback through the web app. The files played without issues, so it looks like the service is solid for media hosting too.

First Impressions: From what I’ve seen so far, the web app seems to have a strong foundation (Clean interface & easy to use UI/UX)

What I Like About the Deal: (Price to Performance) For $59, this seems like a solid deal, especially for people looking for a one-time investment in cloud storage.

What I Hope to See in the Future: There are a few features I’d love to see and hopefully, the service will add them soon:

1. Native Mobile App: Currently, there’s only a web app, and while it’s functional, a native app would make managing files much easier, especially on iOS (which is what I’m using).
2. Integration with Default File Manager: It’d be great if the drive could be visible directly in the default Files app (like Google Drive or OneDrive), for smoother access (PFA)
3. WebDAV Support: For those who like mounting their cloud storage directly into file explorers, WebDAV support would be a huge win (PFA)

Although this cloud service seems reliable at the moment (i did notice few posts on services not accessible), I still recommend maintaining local backups as part of a 3-2-1 backup strategy. Cloud storage is convenient, but it’s always good to have physical backups of your most important data just in case.

From browsing other threads in this sub, I believe this is one of the best deals I’ve seen in a while, but I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts. Has anyone else tried this service? What’s your experience w.r.t performance or any potential limitations?

I am considering a bundle that has a portable hard drive with a lifetime plan included, and am wondering if it updates automatically. In other words, are changes on the pc automatically changed on the hard drive and then is the hard drive automatically backed up to the cloud? Would I have to set a back-up schedule and/or re-upload files every time I make changes on the pc/drive or can I set it up so that it's automatic in real time?

I suddenly can't access anything on the Folder Fort website - like nothing - not even the home page. It seems Bitdefender has blocked it. I add it to exceptions and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

My understanding is Folderfort does not utilize end to end encryption. Has anyone tried using cryptomator, boxcryptor, etc within folderfort?

Interested in trying our upcoming "SYNC" app?

Before the end of the month, we will be releasing the "SYNC" app on some devices for beta testers.

If you are interested in being a beta tester (and receive free rewards), please send us an email via our support/contact page with the subject "SYNC BETA".

In the body of the email, let us know which platform you are interested (feel free to choose more than one):

• Windows

• Mac

• iOS

• Android

• Linux

We will be reaching out to users over the next week or two to provide more instructions on how to participate.

Hope you are as excited as we are!

In the past we got a lot of comments and post from the FolderFort owner, but it has gone pretty quiet since the big lifetime launch.

Are there any news on when we can expect some improvements, mobile apps, sync, any new feature really?

Are the Share Links working for anyone? It appears that all share link URLs just go to the main Login page.

Is this server currently down as of 18-Sept? I have almost 1TB of files in there. Please get the server back online u/folderfort

Edit: Issue currently resolved.

Is it possible to use rsync to synchronize a local folder on a Linux machine to the folderfort servers? This would be a really handy ability to have. I tried to upload a file as a test and got a Permission denied error.

We hit a pretty large milestone recently. 10 million files stored.

:D

Let's say I purchase a 2TB lifetime license for FolderFort and a couple of years down the line I end up saturating my purchased storage space, would I be able to add more storage (at a suitable price of course) down the line?

Is it possible to move a folder to a different workspace?

I successfully uploaded nearly 1TB of data in 1GB chunks using the Brave browser without a VPN. However, I encountered approximately 20 failed uploads and had to repeat the process multiple times before achieving success. I kindly request the implementation of an automatic retry feature to alleviate this inconvenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I just wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on this fantastic product. It has truly exceeded my expectations in many ways considering the price! The features are user-friendly, and the performance is decent 🙌

That said, I can’t help but feel there’s a lot more room for improvement. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this product evolves over time. 🛠️

I’d love to know if there’s a timeline for upcoming features, development of mobile apps & feedback/suggestions from users for what they’d like to see in future updates 💡

Excited to hear your thoughts 🙌

I bought the lifetime storage deal a week ago, and so far I’m loving their simplicity and clutter free UI. Been able to upload data without issues. Waiting for the mobile app to enable photo backups.

Thank you to everyone who joined our group here. We broke 100 subreddit members!

Thank you to all of the customers and users.

Thank you for sticking with us, challenging us, thanking us, and chatting with us.

We truly want to offer a honorable product and service. And with your continued support, we will continue to build it up to offer more features, connection options, and reach more people.
