Here some frequently asked quesions answered by someone who is supposed to have some knowledge about this product:

1. What Add-Ons can i update through Xup2Date
   Add-Ons from the Threshold forum, Org forum and the Org store. We'll probably add more file providers later on.
    
2. I need to enter my login data into Xup2Date. Is that secure? 
   We save your data encrypted on your PC ONLY and we only use it to download the files with your account. The download request with your login data will also be sent encrypted to the server.
    
3. Are there any download limits?
   This depends on the file provider (e.g. Org forum). Some file providers have download limits, but this has nothing to do with Xup2Date, it's a limitation by the providers themselves. We can't change that. 
    
4. Is this a virus?
   Not as far as i know.
    
5. Can i use Xup2Date together with an Add-Ons internal updater?
   Yes. You could for example update your Add-On, which comes with its own updater, with this updater and add mods for this Add-On (e.g. soundpacks, texture packs) with Xup2Date. Or you can update everything through Xup2Date. Your choice.
    
6. What's the "Product Page URL" input field when i try to add an Add-On into Xup2Date?
   The "Product Page URL" is the page where you would normally find the download links of your Add-On. On the org forum for example this would be this page (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/29166-ksfo-san-francisco-international-airport-and-city/), on the Threshold Forum this would be this page (https://forum.thresholdx.net/files/file/59-x-visibility-dynamic-haze-control/) and on the org store it would be the page where you would start the download from. In the manual there is a description with some images.
   If you want to download google drive files this is the folder URL, beginning with "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/"
    
7. Can i update the ZIBO with Xup2Date?
   Yes you can!
