#If your subscription was cancelled
Once your subscription is cancelled, your account goes back to the free plan. If your files take more space than the free plan allows, uploads stop until you free up space, but your files stay where they are and nothing is deleted. See What happens if I go over my storage or my plan ends.
To get your plan back, subscribe again. See Upgrade or change your plan.
