By using a workspace it is possible for authorized users to send user files to the account owner (you), too.

  3. You agree that the contractor hast the right to change or to cancel the features (size limits for files, size of online storage space, number of files, number of downloads, duration of storage, download traffic, security functions, widgets, individualization of workspace pages, statistics) at any time.

    • Traffic: traffic is caused by uploading and downloading user files over any workspace you created. It does not matter whether a workspace page or a widget is used. Your traffic increases on each upload/download by the size of the uploaded/downloaded file in megabyte (MB). A file is considered as fully downloaded as soon as the "Download"-button on the workspace page or the widget is clicked.
