What Happens to My Files If I Cancel?
If you cancel or your subscription expires, your files stay exactly where they are — in your Google Drive. We don’t hold your data hostage, and we never will. What you lose access to is the Enoch File interface and its Premium features; what you keep is every document you ever stored through the app.
When things actually change
Section titled “When things actually change”Cancelling doesn’t shut anything down immediately. Your Premium features stay active through the end of the billing period you’ve already paid for — if you’re two weeks into a monthly subscription, you have two weeks of Premium left; if you’re partway through an annual subscription, you have the rest of the year. Nothing about the app changes on the day you click cancel.
Once the paid period runs out, your account automatically reverts to the Free plan. That means you lose access to Premium-only features: additional cabinets beyond the first, email forwarding, sending files from within Enoch File, the Archive Vault interface, file sharing, cross-cabinet search, and the Evernote and Google Drive import tools. Your cabinet structure and account history are retained through the transition, so if you resubscribe later nothing needs to be rebuilt.
The Free plan’s limits apply from that point forward. Free allows up to 50 items per drawer, and only your first cabinet remains accessible. If you had more than that as a Premium subscriber — a common situation for people who have been using Enoch File for a while — your existing drawers and files stay in place, but you won’t be able to upload new files into any drawer that’s already at or above 50 items, and you can only work inside your first cabinet until you resubscribe. In practice, a power user reverting to Free is running a browse-and-cleanup account: you can preview, download, rename, tag, and delete anything that’s already there, and search across your first cabinet, but new intake — uploads, inbound email, mobile scans, and imports — is paused until you’re back on Premium.
Enoch File is a window, not a vault
Section titled “Enoch File is a window, not a vault”The reason your files aren’t at risk in any of this is architectural. Enoch File is a specialized window into your own Google Drive — it makes your files easier to organize, tag, preview, and search — but the files themselves live in your Drive, in the folders Enoch File created when you set up your cabinets and drawers. Enoch File doesn’t own servers where files are stored. Google Drive is the storage layer, and it’s your Google Drive — under your account, under your control. Cancelling doesn’t change your Google account, doesn’t touch your Drive files, and doesn’t remove Enoch File’s folder structure from Drive. It just narrows the window through which you can view them.
What about my Archive Vault?
Section titled “What about my Archive Vault?”Archive Vault is a Premium feature, so once your Premium period ends you lose the Enoch File interface that browses the archive. But every file you archived is still in your Google Drive, in the folder Enoch File created for archived items. Nothing archived is deleted, hidden from Google Drive, or otherwise touched by cancellation. If you resubscribe later, the Archive Vault interface returns and picks up exactly where you left off.
What if the account sits unused for a long time?
Section titled “What if the account sits unused for a long time?”If a Free-tier account goes unused for more than six months, we reserve the right to remove the account metadata from our system as part of routine cleanup — a way of keeping the service lean for the users who are actively using it. Your files in Google Drive stay in your Drive indefinitely regardless. What goes away is your account and account history. You won’t be able to login and use the free version or use the My Account page. You’ll have to re-subscribe like a new user.
If you do resubscribe after, your Drive files are still where you left them. Enoch File would set up a new account structure — the old cabinet arrangement would need to be rebuilt — but nothing about your actual documents changes.
If you want your account and data actually deleted
Section titled “If you want your account and data actually deleted”The opposite situation — you want a complete deletion of your Enoch File account rather than a downgrade to Free — is also supported. Request it any time through our Contact page. We’ll delete your personal metadata (name, email, subscription history) from our active databases and revoke Enoch File’s OAuth access to your Google Drive.
For an extra layer, you can revoke Enoch File’s Google permissions yourself at myaccount.google.com/permissions — find Enoch File in the list of connected apps and click Delete all. That severs Enoch File’s connection to your Drive at Google’s end as well as ours.
Even in this maximum-deletion scenario, your actual documents remain in your Google Drive, since Enoch File never hosted them. Deleting your Enoch File account never touches your Drive files.
If you come back
Section titled “If you come back”If you decide to resubscribe later, sign back in at enochworx.com/signup. Your cabinet structure, drawers, folders, files, tags, and archive are all right where you left them, because they never went anywhere in the first place. Premium features light back up the moment the new subscription confirms.
