Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, announced Thursday it would discontinue its popular mobile file-sharing service called Ovi Files as of October 1.
Nokia spokesman Tapani Kaskinen told AFP that while the service had more than 1.5 million registered users, it did not fit with the company's strategy for its overall Ovi service package.
"We want to explore broader horizontal offerings in mobile maps, e-mail, messaging, media, social networks and music," said Kaskinen.
Ovi Files is a free service that allows users to remotely access and send files from their computer via their mobile phones, even when their computer is off-line.
Nokia said that another service, Nokia Suite, would allow users to synch and transfer files between their mobile and a computer, but that this required a wired connection.
