It was deactivated long before the relaunch of the new design. My last attempt to make a withdrawal was in April last year, I think, and it was rejected about two weeks later... After several attempts to get a response from support, I eventually received a reply saying that the withdrawal would be processed later and that there would probably be a new design!

Just a new variation on the same old scam.

So...no one's getting paid? Not that they were getting paid before.

I've never ever got paid by this filehost (I was just able to renew my account with my rewards)

I was still using it, just because I had a lot of files already uploaded and I do not need money to keep it

BUT, some years ago, it has become unreliable (files still on filehost but impossible to download).
And since last summer, it has turned into complete chaos
 
So the new page says they're not paying anymore, all earnings gone, and all files need to be reuploaded.

Hi there,

First, thank you for being a FileFactory Affiliate. You have been with us in the trenches for years, and we appreciate the loyalty. You are the reason we outlasted the rest of the old web.

For 20 years, we have survived while dozens of other services disappeared. Think about the big names that are no more. Megaupload was seized. RapidShare closed. Hotfile was shut. Fileserve is gone. Zippyshare disappeared. Uploaded.to went offline. We are still here.

But the internet has changed, and we are changing with it. We are moving into a phase of high-velocity growth.

We are shifting how our Rewards work. We are no longer offering cash payouts. In the past, offering money attracted bad content that slowed down the network. We are done with that. Instead, you now earn credits. You can use these credits to extend your own Premium account or give Premium tokens to your friends and fans. It is a better way to build your community without the noise.

The real reason to be an affiliate is the new experience we are providing for your fans.

The old way of frustrating free users with broken links and slow-motion downloads is over. We have implemented the Honest Wait. Now, your fans get the full speed of our global cloud network in exchange for a small, predictable wait time. This makes your shared links reliable. When your fans see that your files actually work and download at lightning speed, they are much more likely to trust your content.

We have also expanded our library. We have crawled the internet and indexed over 9 million files that are ready for you right now. You can download these files directly to our high-speed cache and share the new links with your fans immediately. It is the largest active archive we have ever hosted.

And for your own uploads, we have increased the maximum file size from 5GB to 20GB. This means you can distribute high-quality, uncompressed content without needing to split files.

One thing you need to know: we are not moving old files from the legacy system. If you want to keep sharing your library, you need to upload those files again to the new CDN. This ensures your fans get fresh links on our fastest mirrors.

Here is how the new storage standard works for you.

Every Affiliate account has a 1TB Standard limit. This is your persistent vault. As long as your total library stays under 1TB, your files never expire (so long as your account remains active). This is your safe zone for your most important assets.

If you go over 1TB, we don't stop your uploads. We simply change the rules for the overage. Any file that puts you over the 1TB cap must stay active to survive. If a file in that overage category is not downloaded at least once every 30 days, it is removed from our system. This ensures our servers only host the fresh, high-demand content your fans actually want. We aren't a digital attic. We are a high-speed distribution engine.

We spent the last year rebuilding this engine in the dark. Now, it is time to turn it up. We are clearing out the dormant data to make room for the builders who are uploading the future.

Hi there,

Thanks for the information ...

I confirm that all earnings is gone (without any compensation) and almost all the files have been deleted (6208 files deleted, only 81 left ==> 5,6 TB have been removed)

Of course nobody was warned before the change, and they never reply when you ask for support or your inquiries.

I was still using this host just because I did not want to reup my files ...

Now as they remove all my files, I'm happy to leave this unreliable filehost, and I'm not going to use it anymore in the future ...

Nice. That explains a few things, like why the data isn’t showing up on Affiliate, for example. It’s funny that instead of getting paid in cash, you now get credits to renew your Premium subscription. I have a Lifetime Premium account. I saw that you can still buy it. I think they’re going to go the same route as a few other hosts that used to have a referral program. I think for me, this host is now history, just like the other hosts he mentioned there ;-)

You did get credit ?
Strange, not me (and my earnings was around 1100$) ....
 
G_P said:
No, I haven't! But their plan is to exchange money for credits that you can't cash out anymore. I haven't received a payout in ages!

My point was : 1 had 1100$ of credit
But now, when I go to site, I don't have anymore credit, and I did not get plan's exchange for my credit
 
They played their subscribers as long as they could, then pulled the ol' switcheroo.
Motherfuck You Filefactory! Motherfuck You and whatever shit hole country you run this weak ass scam from.
Bitch!!!
