Shared folder access

Hi I want to join a shared folder but currently I don't have enough space to do so. I am wondering if I use the 30 days trial to join and after the trial what will happen? Will I be kicked out of the folder?

Thanks!

    If you abuse the system like that then after 30 days your account will stop syncing and you wont be able to add/edit or change any files in the folder until you reduce your quota. If you continue to be over quota files will be deleted from the account to bring you under quota (although this DOES take time - its not instant) these deletions are permanent and you cannot recover. 

     

    Basically. If you want access to a share you need it to fit in your account. If you go over limits, everything stops.
