Per-object cap	largest single file that you can upload to a product is 20 GB (20000000000 bytes)

Limits	per-object-cap largest single file that you can upload to a product is 20 GB source per-object-cap 20 GB (products >$0.99) / 250 MB cumulative (priced $0). 'Download all' button only appears under 500 MB total content, but a single ZIP sidesteps that. Repo shows MAX_EPUB_READER_ARCHIVE_SIZE = 32 MB and thumbnail cap 5 MB — those are feature caps, not the product-file cap.
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 Web + documented REST API (products, product_files); the codebase is open source (antiwork/gumroad), so limits are inspectable.
Tooling	REST API with access token; the repo exposes /attachments/... presigned paths via SignedUrlHelper.
Composes with	The $0.99 pricing gate is the mechanism: price at $1, get 20 GB/file, unlimited files per product, unlimited products. A $1 product that never sells still costs the seller ~nothing after fees. 20 GB x N files.
Reliability	Purchases require a payment method on the seller side to withdraw, but uploading does not. Download URLs are presigned CloudFront/S3 and short-lived, so there is no stable hot-link — archive/delivery tier only.

date	source	what it proved
2026-10-21	gumroad.com/help/article/289-file-size-limits-on-gumroad	'20 GB File size limit' and '250 MB limit' sections, verbatim
2026-10-21	withheld	raw.githubusercontent.com/antiwork/gumroad/main/app/models/product_file.rb — confirms S3/CloudFront storage classes and that 20 GB is not enforced in this model, i.e. it is a policy cap at the uploader
2026-10-21	withheld	config/initializers/aws.rb + .env.example in the same repo — CLOUDFRONT_DOWNLOAD_DISTRIBUTION_URL_PROD, FILE_DOWNLOAD_DISTRIBUTION_URL_PROD, S3_BUCKET production 'gumroad'
