Your Content & Your Permissions

When you use our Services, you provide us with things like your files, content, messages, contacts, and so on (“Your Content”). Your Content is yours. These Terms don’t give us any rights to Your Content except for the limited rights that enable us to offer the Services.

We need your permission to do things like hosting Your Content, backing it up, and sharing it when you ask us to. Our Services also provide you with features like photo thumbnails, document previews, commenting, easy sorting, editing, sharing, and searching. These and other features may require our systems to access, store, and scan Your Content. You give us permission to do those things, and this permission extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with.

Our system is based on the premise that you have the legal right to exercise control over the property details held in Your Content. By using our service you are stating that you have that right.
