Retention: 'Uploaded files are kept for at least 365 days. Files that have not been downloaded for more than 365 days will be automatically deleted' — a sliding window, not a hard expiry, so a monthly GET sweep keeps everything alive indefinitely. No auth, no rate limit observed: 4 concurrent ranged GETs all returned 200 in 1.7-3.3 s. - interface detail: rest - tooling: Undocumented but functional chunked HTTP API, reverse-engineered from the site's own uploader JS: `POST https://u1.bigfile.net/v1/upload` with header `Content-Range: start-end`, header `Hash: `, raw body = the chunk; response `{"status":true,"uri":"/d/"}`. Read path: `GET https://www.bigfile.net/d/` (direct octet-stream), plus `GET /d//list.json` for multi-file shares. Uploader parallelises across `u1..uN.bigfile.net`. No rclone backend. - composes with: Account-less, so unlimited uploads per IP x 256 GB per object. Chain = N objects x 256 GB with 365-day sliding retention. - reliability: Genuinely good for a no-account host: upload and read both verified by SHA-256, and the site advertises a 'zero-database architecture' meaning no inventory to lose. The risk is the opposite of the usual one — there is no account, so nobody can enumerate or restore your corpus if you lose the hashes. - notes: the same as the free tier - evidence note: The page states the number in the record; the claim is documented, not measured. - extras: - verified[0].url: https://www.bigfile.net/ - verified[0].date: 2026-10-22 - verified[0].http_status: 200 - verified[0].bytes: 1419 - verified[0].sha256: f960ea350c861edea0c897303ec4cc0c8591c2ff94eacc3789c5ec2dd75fecbe - verified[0].pattern_found: yes - verified[0].what_changed: no change: the page still states the claim - evidence: - [1] 2026-10-22: the host answers at all.
