Has Icedrive Been Abandoned for IceVPN? Be Honest with Us

At this point, it’s not even about the WebDAV outage anymore. It’s about the disrespect.

It’s been over a month. WebDAV is still down. No updates, no status page, no social media posts, no emails. Not a single shred of official communication. Just silence.

And don’t even get me started on support. Tickets get auto-closed or hit with some lazy copy-paste about “your network” when this has been going on for years—slow speeds, connection issues, failed downloads. We’ve reported it. Over and over. And nothing changed.

But now? It’s worse. No acknowledgment. Just ghosting your user base.

Meanwhile, here you are launching IceVPN, all shiny and fresh. A new service. A new product. A new money-maker. So is that where the entire dev and support team went? Did you just abandon Icedrive to go cash in somewhere else? Because that’s exactly how it looks—and no one’s even trying to deny it.

We’re not asking for miracles—just the bare minimum: communication. You dropped a one-liner update ** Yeah, you said “we’re working on it” 23 days ago and vanished like everything was fine. That’s not support. That’s a formality. No progress, no roadmap, no accountability. Just pure silence. Feels like you’ve officially clocked out on us.

You’re not just holding onto random files here. You’re holding on to people’s memories. Final voicemails. Last photos. Creative work. Critical backups. These aren’t throwaway bits they’re irreplaceable. And we can’t even download them.

No communication. No transparency. No apologies.
No indication that users even matter anymore.

Are we just wallets to milk while you move on to the next shiny thing?
What happened to your mission of being “the future of cloud storage”?
We paid for storage. We expected support. We deserved honesty.
Right now, we’ve got none of that.

If this is how it ends, at least have the integrity to say goodbye properly.

Hey @heronickuser95 we hear you, and you’re right. We should’ve communicated better. That’s on us, and we’re going to do better moving forward.

Just to clear things up: we’re not abandoning Icedrive or shifting focus to IceVPN. Icedrive is still a top priority.

WebDAV is currently offline while we work on some backend upgrades. In the meantime, you can still access everything through our desktop apps.

As for the speed issues, we’re not limiting or throttling anything on our end. If you’re still running into problems, please drop us a ticket here. We’ll go through some troubleshooting steps with you, and I’ll also speak with the dev team to see if there’s anything more we can do on our side.

Tom, thanks for following-up. However, I seriously question the statement - “As for the speed issues, we’re not limiting or throttling anything on our end.”

I have a 1 GB connection both up and down. On other sites I interact with I average 600 - 800 Mbps and sometimes more. However, for Icedrive, when it is working well it averages 15-25 Mbps consistently. When everyone is uploading and downloading at peak periods, like month-end, it drops to 5 - 7 Mbps. I have an open ticket as July month-end was horrendous.

So, you are saying for those of us who have a 1GB up\down internet connection we should get 600+Mpbs? That has never been my experience since day 1 (4+ years ago). I have questioned my ISP and their response is they see no problem on their end and the speed test proves there is not a problem for me to connect with the Internet. Other members could post the same.

Unfortunately, your words do not match the actions, which are pretty horrific. The Webdav information page is still up, with no communication whatsoever about being down (35 days or so and counting!).

  • You aren’t acknowledging the issues, unless for sporadic comments on your discussion boards.
  • You haven’t provided a timeline for when WebDAV will return, five weeks-plus in.
  • You haven’t provided an explanation as to the “backend upgrades” or even used basic marketing ploys such as “will make things work better and faster”
  • The desktop app is substandard, confusing, and one-size-fits all. It is not a stopgap substitute for WebDAV.
  • You do not care about informing or updating your user base. Did the monkeys in El Peñón invade your server room?
