FolderShare now free for all
Here's some great news if you're a fan or user of FolderShare: as part of the company's recent acquisition by Microsoft,
FolderShare will now be offering all of its services for free.
Customers who've pre-paid for a plan will receive a pro-rata refund.
According to the company, they are "discontinuing the paid Foldershare
services and offering a free
version of the service instead, which has many of the capabilities of
the previous paid versions." Of course, this may not be great news for
customers who paid for FolderShare's $100 per year professional
service, since the level of the new free service may well be more akin
to the previous $50 per year personal version. Also unclear is whether
Microsoft will try to bring in revenue from FolderShare through
advertising or other streams. For now, however, this is your chance to
get a great service that was previously $50 a year for absolutely
nothing.
