Cloud-based digital locker will be shut down on October 1st
Ovi Files lets uses access files remotely through a mobile browser. Nokia added Files to Ovi services in 2008 after it acquired digital locker startup Avevenu.
The closure shouldn't affect users' files as the service only copied them from the desktop or phone.
Nokia played down the news, reminding users that they can still share content between phone and PC using Nokia Ovi Suite.
"With Nokia Ovi Suite installed on your PC, you can do the following: sync your contacts and messages; transfer videos, photos, and music; back up your Nokia and update your device software. Please note that this is not a direct substitute for Ovi Files as Nokia Ovi Suite requires a wired connection between your PC and mobile device," said a statement.
