RE: Urgent Maintenance (10/23)

You gotta be kidding, it could take up to 24hrs for me to get access again?
This seems excessive.

Compared to what??

Only a narcissistic fool who is suffering from delusions of grandeur
would be so stupid as to post such crap.

Re: Urgent Maintenance (10/23)

Ok Deet, I will not get personal with you (like you did with me).
I am surprised a service like this is going completely down for an entire
day. I'm not sure what issue they are having, but so much downtime is a
terrible customer experience.
"Compared to what?" That is not a good argument to deal with upset
customers. A better explanation as to the issues surrounding the outage would
be a better approach.

FolderShare is still in BETA, doofus! Do you have any idea what that
means???? And it's FREE, so you've got no claim there.

And even if it weren't... sh** happens.

But not on the planet you live on apparently.

RE: Urgent Maintenance (10/23)

Beta or no Beta, taking an online service offline in business hours for 24
hours for "Maintenance" is not acceptable... Thank you for the person who
recommended PowerFolder... at $50 odd dollars per year for 5GB, it is very
attractive and guess what, I can have it installed, up and running before
FolderShare gets back online after their "Maintenance".

RE: Urgent Maintenance (10/23)

Hi.

One of my machines is logged back into Foldershare but the other just shows
the "logging in" icon in the taskbar. Is this part of a phased return of
service?

RE: Urgent Maintenance (10/23)

Sounds like they're doing the "out-of-band" security patch that Microsoft
released on 10/23. It's a BIG bug, and I suggest all Windows users do the
same and update. When considering the hundreds (perhaps thousands) of servers
for Foldershare that need to be updated, 24 hours sounds reasonable to me...
