- interface detail: Web; no public upload API.
- tooling: Web only.
- composes with: 25 GB free total is a fixed bucket, so it does not scale by sharding accounts cheaply (each needs a separate email + PayPal/Stripe). 200 GB on a paid tier is real but small.
- reliability: Third-party summaries disagree wildly on the free per-file number (100 MB vs 2 GB vs 10 MB) — the help-centre figure quoted here is the vendor's own.
