Lifetime Member Applauding The Value of Reliability Over 10 Years

I bought a lifetime membership like 10 years ago and it's made my life so much easier. No more going to sketchy websites. I've grown so accustomed to having the service that one day my DNS wasn't working correctly and I thought the site was gone, and realized how much value the site has offered me through the reliability that it's provided me for a decade. It removes so much off my plate from me not having to go hunt for what I am seeking.

FileFactory does not adhere to their agreement with affiliates and if you dare post a complaint here your account will be suspended.

They are NOT a trustworthy site.

Dear Andy,

Dear Andy,
I found out about Filefactory only a few months ago through a friend, who`s been using it for quite a while now, and I have to say I'm very satisfied with it. I`ve had the pleasure of downloading many of my artists' albums(mainly in Flac) and I'm grateful for that. I have certainly recommended Filefactory to many music-loving friends. The fact that the downloads take some time to be completed does not bother me at all because it is worth it!However, I was delighted to see that an E.L.P. album I started downloading just a few minutes ago, downloaded very, very fast!
Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work!

I wrote a one-star review previously…

I wrote a one-star review previously due to being unable to get a response from FF support for days after being locked out of my account.

I took the review down after they apologised and reported "the problem is fixed now."

A week later it happens again and my support request is still unread. So this appears to be the only way to get their attention

Update: Filefactory are now accusing me of extortion. I am happy to share emails and screenshots of chat with their staff from over the last two months. Plus receipts for payments to them.

Works well for my needs

I have been using FileFactory for a few years and find it most convenient and useful. Rarely have there been any problems. When a question arises it can usually be answered in the faq section of the site but when that isn't enough I have emailed support and they have always been able to deal with any difficulties I'm having. All in all FileFactory works as advertised.

An Outstanding Company - Thoroughly Recommended!

I've been with File Factory for a few years now and I've never had any problem with them. On the odd occasion where I've had to reach out for help, Andy was very quick to respond and deal with my problem effectively and professionally. Overall, I feel valued and as if my money is well-spent. There are varied subscriptions and are all excellent value for money. There is also adequate warning when a subscription ends, which allows plenty of time to make sure there are enough funds to cover any recurring subscriptions. I would thoroughly recommend this company and will continue to use them myself as my website of choice.

Andy helped me very nice

Andy helped me very nice. He is an angel. As an old lady I am not so great with reading all the conditions you have to sign for when you start a 1 month trial premium account. I made a misstake by not cancelling in time (which was in the conditions). Andy understood this and made arrangements and everything is fine now. Because of his action now I want to be part of this nice community. Praise!
