Ovi Files Service Discontinued by Nokia


Ovi Files allows users to remotely access, send, and create an online mirror of files stored on their Windows PC and Macintosh computers from any mobile or computer web browser. Supplemental features enable users to upload content to their remote computer and preview Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF documents without the need for a browser plug-in or locally installed application.

Ovi Files is based on the “Access and Share” service created by Avvenu Incorporated, which Nokia acquiredin 05 December 2007. Originally a premium service, Ovi Files was made free of charge in July 2009.
In early September, 2010, Nokia announced to Ovi subscribers via email that it will be shutting-down the Ovi files service on October 1st, 2010. The sad part is Nokia is discontinuing the Ovi Files service, effective October 1, 2010.
