Price	€2.03/TB/mo at the 20 TB tier (€40.60/20). at 5 TB: BX21 = €2.18/TB/mo. at 20 TB: BX41 = €2.03/TB/mo. ~$2.19 and ~$2.19 at 1.08 USD/EUR. Non-EU buyers pay excl. VAT (the €3.81/€12.97/€24.75/€48.31 figures circulating online are VAT-inclusive German prices — do not use them).
Limits	per-ip-shaping (binding) 10 concurrent connections source per-ip-shaping (binding) 32 parallel streams source 10 concurrent connections per box is the binding constraint for parallel ranged GET benchmarks (rule 6 in §1.4 applies: this host will NOT scale to 32 parallel streams). No object API, so no presigned URLs; every read goes through your WebDAV/SFTP proxy layer.
Binding	per-ip-shaping one stream is shaped, and a user's throughput is the shaped rate times the number of streams
Identity	card card
Egress	VERBATIM: "Traffic: Unlimited *" on every tier, and "Each Storage Box comes with unlimited traffic" (docs). free allowance: 250 TB per month
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Interface	s3, webdav, sftp, ftps, scp, rsync, smb, ssh, rclone SFTP, SCP, rsync, FTPS, SMB/CIFS, WebDAV, BorgBackup, SSH (port 23); 100 sub-accounts; 10 concurrent connections
Tooling	No S3 endpoint — this is the one real gap. rclone via SFTP or WebDAV; Borg/restic first-class
Composes with	WebDAV -> AList -> Cloudflare works. 100 sub-accounts let you hand one directory each to separate services.
Reliability	Cost: aggressive new-account KYC. LET threads document ID-card scans being requested and accounts silently refused for country/risk reasons; UnionPay accepted but does not waive KYC.
