I received an email about my space being full and my files deleted - how come?

Hello, i got this email stating i'm over space limit and i must upgrade before a specific date or files MAY be deleted. I guess it's a way to push up to pay for more.. Or not? I searched online but...
Delete
Quota

It says "may be" so i guess it's just a may. It's too young policy to know what will really happen yet i guess.

Yeah, from this viewpoint I understand you wanting to seek a conclusive answer. I would operate under the assumption that your data will be deleted if its over quota, it's the safest route.
