Why has my Free Plan storage been reduced to 3GB?
Why has my Free Plan storage been reduced to 3GB?

After your account has reached 6 months of use and is downgraded to a Free Plan, the storage is updated from the introductory 10GB of storage to 3GB.

This means that any galleries above that limit will be permanently deleted 1 week after the plan changes (oldest galleries first).

The 6 months includes your 30 day free trial, and is not dependent on whether you upgrade or not. (You still receive all the benefits of the Advanced Plan on your 30 day free trial.)

For example, if you upgrade to a Paid Plan within 1 month of your account creation during the free trial, and then downgrade to a Free Plan 1 month later, you'll have 4 months of 10GB Storage remaining.

However, if you upgrade to a Paid Plan within 1 month of your account creation, but then downgrade to a Free Plan a year later, your storage will be reduced to 3GB immediately.

Free Plan FAQ

How do I find out how much storage I currently have?

  1. Login to your Pic-Time account

  2. Go to Settings from your Main Dashboard

  3. Click the Storage tab to view the storage for your account and individual galleries

How do I find out when I joined Pic-Time?

You can contact our team at [email protected] for your sign-up date.

What if I still have over 10GB after six months and I'm on a free plan?

Your galleries will begin being purged from your account starting with the oldest created until we reach the 3GB storage limit.

Can I get my galleries back if they are purged?

No. If the gallery has been purged for over 1 week, the high res photos cannot be restored. However, if it's been less than 1 week. Please reach out to our Livechat asap and we will see what we can do!

  2. Go to Settings from your Main Dashboard

  3. Click the Plans & Billing tab

  4. Click Manage or Cancel to upgrade or downgrade your plan

Will I be notified when my six months are up?

Yes! You will receive email notifications letting you know that you are getting close to being over the limit on time and storage, as well as directions on how to upgrade.

If I've been on a Paid plan for over six months and downgrade to a Free Plan, do I still get 10GB for an additional six months?

No, the six months is based on the account creation date, so your Free Plan would only include 3GB.
