indiggio Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Logged into my WHS console and up popped a dialog asking me to log into DrivePop. After several attempts, no joy. Took to twitter and see many are also in the same boat. Those of us that bought a lifetime service got ripped off. Contacted LiveDrive who just forwards me back to DrivePop. Live & learn, crash & burn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It sure is. I've been getting emails from them for about a month saying that access was being pulled. In other words, so is your content. I got one last message from them on Saturday saying there was about 12 hours left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmwills Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yea, free or nearly free usually doesn't pay much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah, unfortunately, I was suspicious that this wouldn't be viable. Fortunately, data caps from my ISP made it easy for me to avoid trying DrivePop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmwills Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 "Critical" data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiggio Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Not so critical that it couldn't be replaced with another copy that I have elsewhere (personal images, videos). Other stuff can be recovered (music), but wouldn't be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
