What happens when free storage limit is exceeded? Are local files deleted?

iwabadi
Hi. There was a notification that I exceeded the free storage limit of 300 MB. Yet I could add items and attachments, locally. After syncing, these items and attachments were present in my zotero Web Library. Does it mean that other files were deleted from the library, maybe even from my local storage, so that the files are limited to 300 MB?
I am in the final 2 weeks of working on a seminar paper and I am afraid that a strange side effect causes me to loose the highlighted pdfs.

Thanks for any hint and thanks for the wonderful tool!

    Maybe I am wrong and after exceeding the free storage limit, the newly added pdfs did not show up in my zotero Web Library. (Because now, I see that what I added yesterday does not have attachments in the Web Library.)
    Just want to be sure that on my local computer I can keep finishing my current seminar paper using zotero, and that all attachments are safe. Or at least to be aware which files might have been lost because I have kept File Syncing on, with zotero, at sync time, in the local preferences.
    Thanks!

    Yes, the actual files just weren't uploaded. You can see that you can't actually open them in the web library, only see the attachment items.
