- free tier: Box Starter, free for nonprofits via TechSoup validation: 'Secure file collaboration, storage and native e-signatures for up to 10 users | 100 GB of storage | 2 GB file upload'. TechSoup confirms 'donations of up to 10 perpetual licenses for Box Starter Edition'. 100 GB shared per org. | unit: GB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: 2 GB per upload | bytes: 2000000000 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: No egress meter on Box downloads documented on the nonprofit page. | metered: no
- identity: institution
- interface: rest, rclone
- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): 2 GB per upload [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap 2 GB per upload. request-rate: Box API per-app throttling. retention: 'perpetual licenses' — no expiry, which is unusual and worth noting.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: rclone backend 'box' (Tier 1, server-side copy); Box Content API.
- composes with: 100 GB x one nonprofit org, with 10 perpetual seats sharing that 100 GB — not 100 GB per seat. Paid Business/Enterprise are 50% off, which is a discount not a grant, so this does not reach 500 GB free.
- reliability: Stable and perpetual, but 100 GB aggregate is an order of magnitude. Only interesting as an egress-free front for a small hot set.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
