| Free tier | 1 TB / 5 TB / 10 TB unit TB; metered on unstated |
|---|---|
| Price | EUR 3.20 per TB per month at 1 TB, EUR 2.18 at 5 TB, EUR 2.08 at 10 TB, EUR 2.03 at 20 TB, all excluding VAT, with no setup fee |
| Limits |
10 concurrent connections on every tier; 10/20/30/40 snapshots at 1/5/10/20 TB; 100 sub-accounts per box |
| Identity | card registration needs a valid email address, contact information and a billing address, with a phone number optional; payment is by credit card, PayPal, bank transfer or SEPA direct debit, and before an order is processed an account may be verified with a copy of a government-issued ID or an advance payment from a credit card |
| Egress | Unlimited on all four tiers — the matrix row 'Traffic | Unlimited' spans 1/5/10/20 TB. Same fair-use caveat as BX41. |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | not stated |
| Interface | webdav, sftp, scp, rsync, smb, rclone same as BX41 (SFTP/SCP/SMB/WebDAV/rsync/Borg/Restic/rclone) |
| Tooling | rclone, restic, borg, rsync, davfs2 |
| Composes with | identical; the 5 TB tier is the natural fit for the hot working set, 20 TB for archive |
| Reliability | the same platform as BX41; the ladder is close to linear, so EUR 3.20 per TB at 1 TB falls only to EUR 2.03 per TB at 20 TB, and splitting one booking into two buys connections rather than bytes |
| Evidence note | documented the vendor plan matrix states the capacities, the four monthly prices, the concurrent-connection cap and the snapshot ladder |
| Parsed numbers |
