Filebase (IPFS tier) Storage

filebase.com · p2p · storage/filebase · JSON · compare

Free tier	Free: 5 GB pooled storage across Object Storage and IPFS, 500 pinned files, 10 GB/month IPFS bandwidth, object egress free. Pro $7.50/mo: 500 GB pooled. unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Split, and the split is the trap. 'For S3-compatible object storage buckets on the non-IPFS tier at s3.filebase.io, egress is free on every paid plan.' But 'IPFS bandwidth is not free... On the free tier, there is a 5 GB / month egress cap' — and the pricing page states 10 GB IPFS Egress. Either way it is single-digit-to-10 GB/month. free_allowance: 5 GB per month
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: th, object egress free. Pro $7.50/mo: 500 GB pooled. S3 API held up live: the public gateway served the test CID at 200 (414,201 bytes, Server: Filebase) but throttled during a ra
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	s3-compatible, rclone, cli s3
Tooling	S3 API at s3.filebase.io, region 'auto', SigV4; rclone s3 backend works; IPFS Pinning Service API; dedicated gateways; docs list rclone/boto3/aws-cli explicitly.
Composes with	1 bucket on Free, no limit on object count within it. 5 GB per account is not repeatable to 500 GB in any practical way, and each account needs its own S3 keys.
Reliability	S3 API held up live: the public gateway served the test CID at 200 (414,201 bytes, Server: Filebase) but throttled during a rapid burst (2 of 8 answered before the burst ran long). The 'no egress fees' headline applies to the S3 tier, not the IPFS tier — a genuinely confusing pricing page and the single most common misread in this niche.
Notes	Free: 5 GB pooled storage across Object Storage and IPFS, 500 pinned files, 10 GB/month IPFS bandwidth, object egress free. Pro $7.50/mo: 500 GB pooled.
