Retention	Retention: 15 days by default; 30 only if the SENDER accepts an extension email on day 12 (offer open 3 days) (15 days)
Egress	unmetered, no egress pricing published; direct download links plus a 'Download All' ZIP (ZIP is capped — above 10 GB you must fetch files one by one).
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: s a working CLI.

Limits	retention-clamped Retention: 15 days source retention-clamped deletes at 15 days source per-object-cap per-object-cap: 50 GB source per-object-cap: 50 GB per transfer (combined, not per file). Retention: 15 days by default; 30 only if the SENDER accepts an extension email on day 12 (offer open 3 days). After expiry Infomaniak states a link cannot be reactivated or extended. pull-count: download cap selectable at 1/20/100/250 — 'unlimited' requires a paid plan. Request-rate: the container-create endpoint enforces a reCAPTCHA field (see reliability note).
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, cli rest
Tooling	swissfer (github.com/Blutsh/swissfer, 44 stars, pushed 2026-10-21) — Rust CLI, upload AND download, email-confirmed sender. First upload requires a 6-character code emailed to you, then cached. Upstream `send`-style clients do not work.
Composes with	Per-transfer 50 GB x unlimited transfers. With swissfer this is scriptable, so capacity is bounded by how many 50 GB transfers you are willing to mint, each living 15-30 days.
Reliability	The write path requires human verification at the API: POST /api/containers without a recaptcha field returns 400 'The recaptcha field is required. (and 1 more error)'. swissfer routes around this with an emailed 6-char confirmation, not with a token. The 30-day option is a trap — it silently deletes at 15 days unless the sender acts on day 12.
