- free tier: none reachable now: a vendor comment on a forum thread offered a backup storage box (SFTP, FTP over TLS) free under beta at 500GB, with a stated post-beta price of 5-6 dollars per TB per month; the beta is not on the vendor's cart page | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]

- evidence note: re-read on 2026-11-03: the forum thread still quotes a vendor comment offering a free 500GB beta backup box with a post-beta price of 5-6$/TB/month, and the vendor cart page lists website-hosting plans, not a storage box; the offer rests on a forum comment and no vendor page states it, so the rung stays reported
