Notes

You must cancel u:cloud pro if you no longer need it. Otherwise, further costs will be incurred. 


u:cloud pro is not suitable for saving:

  • particularly large files
  • rapidly changing files, especially those created by machines
  • temporary files

Advantages of u:cloud pro

The u:cloud pro is charged at the same cost as the Share service.

It offers the same functions as an individual u:cloud account, but the data is not linked to a specific person and can be managed jointly.

  • The data is available regardless of the composition of a team.
  • The storage space in the individual u:cloud remains unaffected and is not charged against the storage space used in the u:cloud pro.
