| Limits |
retention 7 days on free (30 days paid) — this is the binding constraint; no per-object-cap on the anonymous web tier; per-object behaviour beyond 2 GB is queue+deprioritisation not rejection; API keys are '100 GB, 14-day free trial (No credit card required)' — trial, not free tier. |
| Identity | institution (inferred, not read) not published |
| Egress | Free and unmetered on the free tier (no per-GB line anywhere on the pricing page); free tier is ad-supported. |
| Per-object cap | per-object behaviour beyond 2 GB (2000000000 bytes) |
| Retention | not stated |
| Interface | rest rest (official API + SDKs, but gated behind an API key) / web for the anonymous path |
| Tooling | Official SDKs: @smash-sdk/uploader (npm), @smash-sdk/downloader, github.com/fromsmash/smash-uploader-js, smash-sdk-js, smash-downloader-js; docs api.fromsmash.com/docs/quick-start |
| Composes with | Per-transfer model caps multiplication: unlimited transfers but each dies in 7 days. As storage it is a 7-day rolling window — n transfers/day x (size) x 7 days, nothing retained past 7. The API path (100 GB trial key x free accounts) is a 14-day trial, not perpetual. |
| Reliability | Free transfers are queued when >2 GB with no SLA on queue time; files are 'stored temporarily' on AWS regions and deleted at 7 days. |
