Limits
  • per-ip-shaping 10 concurrent connections source
  • volume-quota (binding) 1, 5, 10 or 20 TB per Storage Box (BX11 to BX41) source
  • per-object-cap No per-file cap published source
10 concurrent connections is the binding limit, not bytes — a parallel-GET benchmark will be shaped by connection count: 32 parallel ranged GETs cannot be opened here, only 10. 10 snapshots. No per-file cap published.
Bindingvolume-quota the largest plan is 20 TB, too small for 20 TiB of data (about 22 TB); the page does not say whether TB means 10^12 or 2^40 bytes.
Identitycard payment methods: bank transfer, credit card, Paypal and SEPA direct debit (SEPA-country accounts); the registration fields are unverified: behind a sign-up.
EgressUnlimited traffic on every plan ('Each Storage Box comes with unlimited traffic'); capacity is the only billed axis. Concurrent connections are limited to 10.
Per-object capNo per-file cap published
Retentionnot stated
Interfacewebdav, sftp, ftps, ftp, scp, rsync, smb, ssh, rclone sftp
Tooling10 concurrent connections, 10 snapshots, 100 sub-accounts.
Composes withNo free allowance; priced benchmark: a 20 TB archive costs € 40.60 per month excl. VAT on BX41, 10 TB costs € 20.80 on BX31.
ReliabilityRAID with checksums, explicitly NOT mirrored off-site ('The data is not mirrored onto other servers'). Snapshots can be automated. Long-standing German host; no data-loss pattern in these forums.
