Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Monthly bandwidth ALLOWANCE, not free: 'up to 10GB on the Free plan', 'your chosen storage size on Personal', 'up to 2x your storage on Business'. Frequently-accessed files are cached so some traffic doesn't count.
Identity	email email
Limits	write-gated review source 10 GB/month bandwidth on free. This fails the egress filter outright: a 100 GB archive cannot even be read back once per month.
Binding	write-gated the write is a queue with a person or a rule in it, so the upload rate is set by somebody else
Interface	rest, rclone rest
Tooling	API use is explicitly covered by the bandwidth allowance, implying a REST API; no rclone backend.
Composes with	Free tier is ~10 GB bandwidth/month — the bandwidth allowance, not storage, is the binding constraint and it is tiny.
Reliability	The StackSocial 2 TB lifetime listing (f/18179782, $109.97) now 404s — the lifetime SKU line has been retired in favour of 'Folder Fort 2.0' subscriptions. Bandwidth-metered model is the opposite of what for a user needs.

Retention	not stated
Egress	Metered by monthly bandwidth allowance: 'up to 10GB on the Free plan, your chosen storage size on Personal (starting at 100GB), and up to 2x your storage on Business'. API/SFTP/WebDAV traffic counts against it.
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: rs upload, download, streaming, embedding, share links and API use); API credits on Classic accounts are annual ('1 GB = up to 2 credits free annually'); free plan storage not stated
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, rest, webdav, sftp, rclone sftp / webdav / rest (rclone) / s3-style via FF Connect
Tooling	rclone backend (documented), SFTP, WebDAV — folderfort.com/sftp-webdav-rclone
Composes with	If the free storage number were large this would be a genuine finding because rclone/SFTP/WebDAV are all supported and 'all users, regardless of plan, receive free SFTP access'. But free bandwidth is 10 GB/month, so even a 500 GB free bucket could not be read out. Multiplication by accounts multiplies 10 GB/month each.
Reliability	Platform is mid-migration: 'Classic access ends November 16, 2026', free tier has already been re-scoped once this year; SFTP was still 'load testing' per its own docs.
Notes	Free plan exists with no credit card, size not published on the pricing page; free-plan bandwidth is 10 GB/month. Paid Personal starts at 100 GB, Business 1 TB.
