Notes
Using Global Accelerator for data uploads or downloads incurs acceleration fees. Uploading data generates acceleration upload traffic fees, while downloading data generates both acceleration download traffic fees and outbound traffic over Internet fees for the drive. For example, if you download 1 GB of data from your drive using Global Accelerator, you will be charged for 1 GB of transfer acceleration fees and 1 GB of outbound traffic over Internet fees.
