| Retention | Auto-deleted 90 hours after upload.' API flow: 10 files per WebFolder, 999 GiB max per file (3 days) |
| Egress | No egress charge; instead a hard time gate — free download window is 48 h (<10 GB), 12 h (10-20 GB), 6 h (>=20 GB); after that a $2+ Download Pass or $5 expiry extension is required |
| Identity | institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: : 'No capacity limit. Auto-deleted 90 hours after upload.' API flow: 10 files per WebFolder, 999 GiB max per file same; no account, so nothing to vary none in the API path; the brows |
| Limits | 999 GiB/file; 10 files/WebFolder; 90 h total life; download window collapses to 6 h for >=20 GB; 1 concurrent chunk upload; download count capped at 3 in Korea |
| 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, rclone rest |
| Tooling | Documented v2 REST API at api.file.kiwi (POST /v2/folders returns presigned R2 PUT URLs), 36 h presigned-URL validity, client-side E2E keys (RFC 8188 AES-128-GCM); no rclone backend |
| Composes with | No account at all — one API call creates a folder; anonymous IDs are unlimited. Multiplication is trivial, the 90-hour delete is the wall |
| Reliability | 6-48 h download windows make it a transfer tool, not storage; the 90 h auto-delete is unconditional |
| Notes | Web Folder Basic: 'No capacity limit. Auto-deleted 90 hours after upload.' API flow: 10 files per WebFolder, 999 GiB max per file |

| Free tier | Prepaid Upload-GB: 50 GB upload $1.20, 100 GB $1.60, 500 GB $3.99, 1000×n GB $6.99×n. 1 Upload-GB = a 1 GB file kept available for 7 days. unit GB; metered on unstated |
|---|---|
| Price | $6.99 per TB for a 7-day hold = $6.99 × (30.4/7) ≈ $30.36/TB/mo to hold 1 TB continuously. To hold 20 TB: ~$607/mo. Roughly 30× the 1fichier/Blomp floor. Dead end for storage; only rational as a paid download-enabler for a one-off link. |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | 1 Upload-GB = a 1 GB file kept available for 7 days (7 days) |
| Egress | Downloads are gated per-file, not metered: 'download requires a Download Pass or Expiry Postponement'. One-time Download Pass $2.00 (≤5 GB) or $2.00 + $0.40/GB above 5 GB. File Expiration Extension $5.00 buys 6 more hours, repeatable. |

| Reliability | This is a TRANSFER service priced per upload-with-a-deadline, not storage. The '1000 GB for $6.99' line is a one-shot: 1 TB uploaded and held for 7 days. Annualised storage-equivalent is astronomically worse. |
| Notes | Prepaid Upload-GB: 50 GB upload $1.20, 100 GB $1.60, 500 GB $3.99, 1000×n GB $6.99×n. 1 Upload-GB = a 1 GB file kept available for 7 days. |
