Price	$81/TB one-time at the 8 TB lifetime tier ($649) — amortised over 5 years that is $1.35/TB/mo; $56/TB one-time at 4 TB ($449)
Per-object cap	10 GB per file (10000000000 bytes)
Retention	not stated
Egress	No request or retrieval fees — '$0 request or retrieval fees' is stated on the homepage and repeated as 'No request fees' / 'Always free' for S5. Transfer quota is tied 1:1 to storage purchased (buy 1 TB, get 1 TB/month). free_allowance: 1 TB per month
Identity	email email
Limits	per-object-cap 10 GB per file source per-object-cap 10 GB/file source per-object: 10 GB/file on free, no limit on premium. Transfer is 1:1 with storage purchased, which is the binding constraint at archive-restore time.
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	s3, rest, webdav, ftps, ftp, rsync, rclone, cli s3
Tooling	Very wide: S3 (S5), WebDAV, FTP/FTPS, Rsync, rclone, REST API. rclone has a native Tier-1 backend (read-only in the table, ModTime R). Explicitly named as compatible with AWS CLI, rclone, Restic, Kopia, Proxmox, Duplicacy, Duplicati, S3 Browser, FileBrowserGO, Synology Hyper Backup, s3cmd, Cyberduck, Mountain Duck.
Composes with	A single purchased 8 TB lifetime plan at $649 plus Rsync/S3 gives a restic target that satisfies Duplicati and Kopia simultaneously — the broadest tool compatibility of any paid option in this slot. The 1:1 transfer-to-storage ratio means a 20 TB archive needs 20 TB bought to restore it in a month.
Reliability	146,000 users; lifetime promos move between $149 and $350 list, so the lifetime price is a channel promotion rather than a stable list price. Read-only rclone classification means rclone cannot write; S3/Rsync/WebDAV must carry writes.
