Increased capacity

I have a basic package and have recently put on some folders to share with friends associated with a project we are all involved in.  I'm running out of space and considering upgrading but will my firends all have to upgrade as well in order to access the same files?

    If they need read/write access then yes they will. 

     

    If they need read only and are happy accessing via a shared link then no they wont 🙂
