verdict: storage/gitbook says qualifies-with-caveat, storage/gitbook-2 says fails-egress
identity_kind: storage/gitbook says institution, storage/gitbook-2 says email

Free tier	No published total storage quota. Per-file cap is explicit: 'GitBook allows you to upload files up to 100MB per file.' GitBook's own docs ask-API, queried live, answered: 'I cannot find a documented storage quota or total storage limit per organization on the Free plan.' unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	100MB per file (100000000 bytes)
Retention	Access token in the download URL is NOT enforced — a deliberately bogus `token=0000` returned the identical 838-byte file (same sha256), so file URLs are effectively public and permanent
Egress	Free and CDN-served. Files land on `-files.gitbook.io` (backed by `gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com`), fronted by Cloudflare with `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000`, `Accept-Ranges: bytes`, `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: `.
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: upload files up to 100MB per file.' GitBook's own docs ask-API, queried live, answered: 'I cannot find a documented storage quota or total storage limit per organization on the Free
Limits	per-object-cap 100MB per file source per-object-cap: 100 MB per file — the only hard published number. Total org storage: undocumented (searched the docs ask-API, no figure). Retention: files persist while the org exists; no TTL clause.
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, git, rclone rest
Tooling	GitBook Platform API `POST /v1/orgs/{org}/storage` + a `?ask=` query interface on the docs. No rclone backend. Git sync (GitHub/GitLab) is a second, separate route.
Composes with	Unlimited free GitBook accounts/orgs x 100 MB per file x unbounded file count (undocumented total). If the total really is unbounded this is per-record-unlimited; if it is soft-limited, the multiplier is free orgs.
Reliability	Access token in the download URL is NOT enforced — a deliberately bogus `token=0000` returned the identical 838-byte file (same sha256), so file URLs are effectively public and permanent. That cuts both ways: stable hotlinks, but no way to keep a file private.
Notes	No published total storage quota. Per-file cap is explicit: 'GitBook allows you to upload files up to 100MB per file.' GitBook's own docs ask-API, queried live, answered: 'I cannot find a documented storage quota or total storage limit per organization on the Free plan.'
