Web Plan. This 1GB Free Account comes with 1GB of remote file storage, and this
account is retained as long as you login at least once every 60 days. If more

cancellation status and will be closed and purged according to the standard
account data retention period. A free account in
cancellation status may be renewed by logging in and upgrading, within 30 days

account beyond 30 days and upgrade it to a subscription, if it has not yet been
purged. WebAdvanced plans offer a 10-day Full-Featured Free Trial. The
WebAdvanced trial account functions like a paid subscription, with the same
limits that apply to an individual paid account. After 10 days, the 10-day
WebAdvanced free trial account is automatically activated and charges the
registered credit card you entered on the signup screen if it is not cancelled
within the 10-day trial period. There are no charges for the 1GB Free Account
(the Basic Web Plan Free Account), unless you choose to upgrade the plan to a
Basic Web Account Subscription.
