Access to documents after free trial ends?

Hello ​@Lpolky 

Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! We appreciate your question and assure you that we are fully committed to providing you with the best service possible. 

If you’ve already downloaded your signed PDF documents to your computer, those files will remain saved on your device even after your Docusign free trial ends. Docusign cannot remove or modify files stored locally on your PC.
As for your Docusign account, once the free trial expires, it typically does not automatically charge and instead downgrades to a free account. With that free account, you can still log in and access your existing envelopes and documents in your account, although some features (like sending envelopes) may no longer be available. 
That said, it’s always best practice to keep backup copies of important documents stored securely outside of Docusign as well.
