Someone shared a file with me and now I have a CloudLive account - do I have to pay for it?

No - your sharing account is completely free and you can use it for as long as you want to access the files shared with you. However if you want to take advantage of CloudLive's excellent simple, secure backups or access-anywhere features you will need to upgrade to a full paid account. It's very easy - just contact us at support@cloudlive.co and request an upgrade.
