No numeric free total quota is published. | unit: unlimited | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1] - per-object cap: 500 MB per file | bytes: 500000000 | source: [1] | note: not stated - retention: Non-downloaded files lifetime: 1 month (non-registered), 3 months (registered), up to 4 months (premium), applied to files above the safety storage. | days: 30 | source: [1] | note: not stated - egress: Free downloads speed-limited ('We need to limit download speed for keep our servers online 24/7'); no GB cap published. | metered: no - identity: email - interface: rest - limits: - per-ip-shaping: Speed-limited downloads [1] - per-object-cap (binding): 500 MB per file [1] - retention-clamped: Retention: 1 month [1] - limits note: 500 MB per file for anonymous/private; larger downloads require a registered account. Retention: 1 month inactive for unregistered, 3 months registered, 5 months premium. TTL grows with downloads/plays. - interface detail: rest - tooling: Documented API: GET /api/server/available returns {url, serverAccessToken}; POST {url} multipart with serverAccessToken (+ optional X-AUTH-TOKEN for account uploads). - composes with: Paid plans in USD for 1 year: Basic 500 GB safety storage $119.99, Pro 2 TB $215.99, MAX 6 TB $239.99; billed per term. Anonymous uploads allowed without X-AUTH-TOKEN, so unlimited identities x the per-file cap. The per-file cap is the binding constraint; you would shard. - reliability: GET /api/server/available returned a JSON answer naming the upload node hs11.krakencloud.net on 2026-11-03, and a TCP connect to hs11.krakencloud.net:443 was refused, so uploads through the API are unconfirmed. Free downloads are speed-limited. - notes: Marketed as 'unlimit drive'; free registered users get unlimited file count with a 500 MB per-file ceiling for private files. No numeric total quota published. - evidence note: documented: the plan prices and storage tiers, the registered-account column (5 GB file size, 3 months lifetime, no safety storage figure) and the premium lifetime are quoted from https://krakenfiles.com/premium; the 1/3/5 month lifetimes and the sign-up email message from https://krakenfiles.com/faq; the private-file ceiling from https://krakenfiles.com/terms; the unlimited disk space claim from https://krakenfiles.com/ (all read 2026-11-03). The vendor pages disagree on the per-file size (terms against premium page) and on the premium lifetime (FAQ against premium page); the upload-node findings come from an API probe and a TCP probe, not from vendor pages - extras: - dead_end.failure_class: quota - dead_end.why: Marketed as 'unlimit drive'; free registered users get unlimited file count with a 500 MB per-file ceiling for private files.
