| Free tier | 20 GB free; Basic 200 GB at EUR 2.99/month; Premium 2 TB at EUR 6.99/month. Every tier carries the same 'Upload up to 20 GB' line unit GiB; metered on stored-bytes |

| Per-object cap | 20 GB per upload on every plan, including the 2 TB one (20000000000 bytes) |

| Limits |
|
| Binding | per-object-cap The free 20 GB is an order of magnitude under the 500 GB filter, and the paid tiers carry a 20 GB per-file cap that does not move with the plan. Either number alone stops it; the cap is the one that would still bind at 2 TB. |
| Interface | webdav, rest, rclone |
| Tooling | rclone webdav against /remote.php/webdav/, which answers 401 with a Basic realm of 'Shadow Drive'. Standard Nextcloud clients |
| Composes with | The cheapest Enterprise-build Nextcloud in Europe at EUR 2.99 for 200 GB, so it is a candidate small shard. The 20 GB per-file cap is uniform across tiers and does not scale, which stops it being an archive target |
| Reliability | Signup is geo-fenced to twelve countries. Encryption at rest is still listed as not implemented. The price rose from EUR 4.99 to EUR 6.99 for 2 TB since the 2024 announcement while press coverage still quotes the old figure |
| Notes | The free 20 GB is real and it is the same Enterprise build as the paid tiers, so it works as a cheap test endpoint. It fails as capacity on size, and it fails on a per-file cap that never improves. |
| Evidence rung | reported What would raise it is a live re-read of the offers page, because this provider has already moved its price once. |
