# What happens after I cancel my subscription?

Nothing changes straight away: you keep full access until the end of the current billing period, and we email you the date. After that, Storage Studio's automatic work — scheduled rules, new moves, cloud transfers, Free Up Space — pauses.

Your files aren't touched. Everything you moved stays where it is and keeps opening through its shortcut. You can come back any time by buying a plan again.
