Question about upgrading to paid plan
I am considering upgrading my free plan to a paid one, so I can get more space. My free plan has more than the free 2GB, though, since there was a promotion when I signed up. It has 6.25GB for free. My question is, if I upgrade to a 2GB plan, will I loose all of the 6.25GB (it will be absorbed into the new total storage), just the regular free 2GB (I get to keep the bonus 4.25GB), or none of my current GB (I will have 2TB+6.25GB as my new total storage)? Frankly, I don't want to lose any of what I have now. Thanks.

You'll keep any bonus space you have now until it expires (if any of it does expire). So you'll end up with 2TB+4.25GB. Your base 2GB becomes 2TB, then you'll retain the 4.25GB that you've earned. If you later downgrade back to Basic and none of your bonus space has expired, you'll go back to 6.25GB.

Thanks. I am glad that I can keep that bonus space, which I don't believe expires since there is no exp date on my Referrals page. (There was a 48GB bonus that did expire after two years back in 2015).
