| 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. |

| Evidence note | documented 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 |
