| Free tier | unlimited storage advertised; 5 GB/file anonymous, 20 GB/file with a free account unit GB; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | 5 GB/file (5000000000 bytes) |
| Retention | 5 GB/file anonymous (7 days after last download), 20 GB/file free account (30 days after last download) (7 days) |
| Egress | unmetered, but free downloads carry an explicit human-verification step |
| Identity | anonymous derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: unlimited storage advertised; 5 GB/file anonymous, 20 GB/file with a free account Its own FAQ says premium 'removes the ads and the "verify you are human" check on do |
| Limits | 5 GB/file anonymous (7 days after last download), 20 GB/file free account (30 days after last download). Premium removes the human check and the size limit; premium is granted only to partner sites with 200k+ visits/month, not sold. |
| Binding | per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota |
| Interface | rest rest |
| Tooling | documented REST API; GET /api/files?url={fileUrl} for status. Upload-via-API docs are Premium-only ('Docs for the upload steps are Premium only'). |
| Composes with | free accounts are free and email-only; 20 GB/file x N accounts. Storage advertised as unlimited per account. |
| Reliability | Its own FAQ says premium 'removes the ads and the "verify you are human" check on downloads' — i.e. free downloads require human verification by design. That alone disqualifies it for automated fetch. It also ships a download manager because 'browser downloads stall on big files'. |
| Notes | unlimited storage advertised; 5 GB/file anonymous, 20 GB/file with a free account |
