    Help! Please! Cannot Get to Foldershare.com

    I've been trying to get to the Foldershare site and keep getting the
    message:

    We can't find that page.
    It may no longer be available, or you may have entered the wrong web
    address.

    I know we don't get a lot of support in this group, but nobody else has
    posted this problem so I'm thinking I'm missing something major here.



    I found a little info from last April on the web, but it only revealed
    that "We isolated and fixed the problem so you should be able to log
    into the FolderShare website." Nothing before or since that time.

    I've had this problem for a while on three different computers. I've
    used Foldershare since way before it was Microsoft and never had a
    problem until now. Has Microsoft moved the website or what am I
    possible doing wrong.

    Anyone? Please! Thanks! ~Carol~

    Which page? What's the URL in the browser's Address bar?

    Are you sure you're including the "www"? Using just "foldershare.com"
    causes problems because of the brain-damaged SSL certificate that
    Microsoft uses.

    Just try https://www.foldershare.com/

    Re: Help! Please! Cannot Get to Foldershare.com

    Using the right-click on Foldershare in the system tray takes me
    (already logged in) to:
    https://www.foldershare.com/home.aspx

    The primary link (that you have below) takes me to the sign in page,
    which takes me to:
    https://www.foldershare.com/home.aspx

    This is where I get the error.

    I've tried so many ways to get there, but I always end up with the "we
    can't find that page" error. I've uninstalled Foldershare, cleaned
    everything out of the registry, reinstalled. I've changed my firewall
    settings. I've gone so far as to completely shut down the firewall long
    enough to make certain that wasn't the problem. I've used IE and
    Firefox after deleting cookies and cache.

    I sync three computers with three different internet connections and get
    the same web page with the error every time, everywhere. Foldershare is
    syncing, but I can't get into anything via the web (other than to change
    my password) so I can do nothing but hope when I get to my other
    computer that the files have been synced.

    I just have no idea what's happening. I've been using Foldershare for
    several years and have never had any problem until now.

    Thanks so much for your help. I'm lost without it! ~Carol~

    Ugh. Sounds like something's screwed up in your account on the server.

    Either someone from Microsoft can fix it, or you could try creating a
    whole new account and re-create all your libraries. Gag.

    Anyone from MSFT still listening? Or all you all working on Mesh now?

    That's got to be it. Right, ugh. Will probably have to start over.
    Right, gag. Unless somebody from MSFT is listening, but I won't hold my
    breath.

    As long as I've been using Foldershare, guess I really can't complain
    that this is the first time I've had a problem.

    Thanks so much Richi! At least I have a direction now. Appreciate your
    time! ~Carol~

    Thanks for your post, Carol.

    Are you still experiencing the same issue?

    you mentioned that "I sync three computers with three different internet
    connections and get the same web page with the error every time"
    Are those three computers in the same network or different network?

    What do you get if you run >nslookup www.foldershare.com?

    Thank you,

    Thanks for following up --

    I realized when I seemed to be the only one having the problem (at least
    the only one searching for the answer on the web), that Richi was
    probably right; something was wrong with my account on the server, my
    profile (or whatever it should be called) had been somehow corrupted.

    Surprisingly, FYI if you're interested, after I set up a new account,
    just for the heck of it I logged out and signed back in with my original
    login and it's worked perfectly ever since. So I didn't have to start
    over after all.

    I only had to do it on one computer, and then all three worked again.
    BTW, they're three computers on three different networks.

    Strange but true. It's wonderful to have FolderShare back again! ~Carol~
