Free tier	Free: 3 GB per transfer AND 10 transfers per rolling 30-day window (a pool, not per-send). Links live up to 3 days. Starter 10 transfers/300 GB. Ultimate unlimited transfers up to 1 TB/transfer. unit GB; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	per-object-cap: 3 GB (3000000000 bytes)
Retention	Retention: 3 days free (3 days)
Egress	not metered.

Limits	retention-clamped Retention: 3 days source per-object-cap per-object-cap: 3 GB source per-object-cap: 3 GB free. Retention: 3 days free. request-rate effectively 10 transfers/30 days rolling. Storage (2 TB default) is an account-level concept that does not apply to free transfers.
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 rest
Tooling	Paid API; no usable free API. The useful artefact here is the help-centre plan-limits page, which states the pool semantics precisely.
Composes with	3 GB x 10 transfers per 30 days = 30 GB/month per account, at 3-day retention. This is the weakest unit in the niche and the reason the whole category exists.
Reliability	The pricing page is JS-walled and returns 'Uh-oh... We couldn't load some important parts of our website' through both read and the Wayback capture — the help-centre article is the only reliable source. 3 GB AND 10-per-30-days both apply; the pool is missed by most comparisons.
Notes	Free: 3 GB per transfer AND 10 transfers per rolling 30-day window (a pool, not per-send). Links live up to 3 days. Starter 10 transfers/300 GB. Ultimate unlimited transfers up to 1 TB/transfer.
