What happens to my bonus space if I upgrade and then downgrade my account?

Hello, I have tariff Basic and in it I have bonuses from Samsung and others, so I have a capacity of around 7 GB. What happens if I switch to the Family tariff and when my kids grow up and I go back to the Basic tariff? Will I keep these bonuses or lose them? Thank you for your reply.

  • Hey Petr Mach, thanks for posting your question.

     

    If you upgrade your account to a paid subscription and then downgrade, you won't lose any of the promotional space you have earned over the years.

     

    That is as long as the space is permanent and not a promotion that expires, which is a different story.

     

    But permanent promos and referrals remain in the account, even if you upgrade and downgrade.

     

    I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, please let us know!
