## Hi168 (上海海文) — S3-compatible object storage

- `storage/hi168-s3-compatible-object-storage` | fails-quota | evidence reported | binding per-ip-shaping | category cloud-drive
- needs card no, phone yes, ID yes, institution no | verified 2026-11-03T15:04:18.959Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-18
- url https://www.hi168.com
- free tier: 500 GB on registration without real-name verification and 1 TB with it (实名), as posted in January 2026; the same thread notes that new signups get only 5 GB. | unit: TB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: No metered egress announced. | metered: yes
- identity: national-id | detail: registration asks for a mobile phone number (reported on a blog dated 2026-01-27); 1 TB needs real-name verification (实名) and 500 GB does not
- interface: s3, rclone, cli
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): 4 MB/s [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap unknown; throughput is the binding limit (2–4 MB/s up). Public bucket support unclear.
- interface detail: s3
- tooling: S3 endpoint https://s3.hi168.com with an AccessKey and SecretKey issued from the 存储管理 app inside their cloud desktop; path-style addressing must be forced (OpenList lists no files otherwise); works with rclone s3, s3cmd, aws-cli, OpenClaw. No named first-party client.
- composes with: 1 TB per account after real-name. Bucket count per account unverified (the article shows bucket creation, count not stated). The only way the total grows is another account, and each one costs a 实名 identity — so this does NOT multiply for a user.
- reliability: On 2026-11-03 the home page shows a maintenance notice that suspends Hi168 services. A direct probe of https://www.hi168.com timed out while a brokered read returned that notice, and the S3 endpoint s3.hi168.com failed certificate verification (tls_untrusted).
- notes: 500 GB on registration, 1 TB after real-name verification (实名). Forum dealers advertised it as '免费领取1T超大对象存储' in Jan 2026; by 2026-01-19 nodeloc reported '新用户注册只有5G了，仅做留档' — i.e. the grant was already being clawed back.
- evidence note: the 2026-11-03 evidence rows read https://www.nodeloc.com/t/topic/75399, the blog.xiaohack.org tutorial tag page and https://www.appinn.com/1tb-free-s3-hi168/ (third-party posts), the vendor home page https://www.hi168.com (a maintenance notice that suspends the service) and probes of s3.hi168.com and www.hi168.com; no vendor page states the quota, so the quota rests on third-party reports
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: identity
  - dead_end.why: 500 GB on registration, 1 TB after real-name verification (实名). Forum dealers advertised it as '免费领取1T超大对象存储' in Jan 2026; by 2026-01-19 nodeloc reported '新用户注册只有5G了，仅做留档' — i.e. the grant was already being clawed back.
