Openomy is closing down March 24, 2009

Today we are announcing that in 10 days -- March 24, 2009 -- Openomy will be closing down.

This is obviously a bittersweet post for me to write, but we are moving on to new things and it's the right time to do so. The idea for Openomy is almost 4 years old and the site has been live for three and a half years, happily storing your files each day. I could not be happier to have helped over 65,000 people store and share hundreds of thousands of files safely and easily for the past few years, but that time has come to an end.

In the next 10 days, please download all files you need to keep as after that time you will be unable to do so. We will be turning off registration for new users today as well as removing the ability to upload new files. We will remain for the next 10 days strictly to allow you to export your data.

Lastly, we know that this might mean you'll need a new place to upload files, and I want to extend my recommendations for both box.net and Dropbox.

Thanks again for your support and we love you all.
