## Cloud Mail.ru (cloud.mail.ru)

- `netdisk-pan/mail-ru-cloud` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding per-object-cap | category consumer-pan
- needs card no, phone yes, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T01:23:08.569Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-26
- url https://cloud.mail.ru/
- free tier: a promotional plan: 1 TB for the first year at RUB 1,560, then RUB 3,000 from the second year, with nine months added; no free terabyte tier is offered on the page read | unit: TB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: 2 GB per file on a free account, unlimited on paid accounts, as documented by the rclone mailru backend; the vendor landing page states no per-file cap | source: [1]
- retention: not stated on the landing page | source: [1]
- egress: not stated on the landing page; recorded as metered:false because no per-GB price or cap was found, which is an absence of evidence and not evidence of absence | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: any-phone | detail: a Mail.ru account
- interface: rest, webdav
- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): not stated on the landing page [1]
- binding note: The offer is a paid plan, so the verdict is about price before any cap; the cap is unrecorded because the landing page does not state it.
- tooling: a WebDAV endpoint (https://webdav.cloud.mail.ru) that the vendor documents, and an rclone mailru backend; both need a Mail.ru app password, and the account password does not work. No vendor REST API is documented on the pages read
- composes with: a RUB-priced 1 TB tier, which is a paid answer and not a free one
- reliability: The page read offers 1 TB as a paid annual plan with a promotional first year, not as a free tier.
- notes: The landing page read on 2026-10-22 offers 1 TB at RUB 1,560 for the first year and RUB 3,000 from the second, with nine months added, under a promotion running 2026-10-15 to 2026-11-19.
- extras:

  - promo_window: 2026-10-15 to 2026-11-19
  - price_first_year: RUB 1,560

- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-22: the page offers '1 TB' with 'Цена за первый год — 1 560 ₽, со второго года — 3 000 ₽' and '9 месяцев в подарок' under a promotion dated 15.10.26 to 19.11.26; it states no free storage tier
  - [2] 2026-11-03: the rclone backend documentation states a 2 GB per-file limit for a free account | capture: sha256:3b8bfed70ee99f8bdc194e75e2e82ba928f02bcc592c3f6e2ff5cd647b91bd2c | quote: Maximum file size is limited to 2G for a free account, unlimited for paid accounts
  - [1] 2026-11-03: the landing page still offers a paid 1 TB plan at RUB 1,560 for the first year and RUB 3,000 from the second, with no free tier stated | capture: sha256:20fc04044690463e0d4cc943ef49d3d372bdc0f50f53a2ea97a360b91b930632 | quote: Цена за первый год — 1 560 ₽, со второго года — 3 000 ₽
  - [3] 2026-11-04: the vendor documents a WebDAV endpoint that takes an app password and not the account password | capture: sha256:2acc2e508f12c9af8d02464e168ddcdc931a26bb70b990194065b5e5a6c94465 | quote: С 1 января 2022 для подключения по WebDAV нужно использовать пароль для внешнего приложения.
  - [2] 2026-11-04: the rclone mailru backend also needs an app password | capture: sha256:3b8bfed70ee99f8bdc194e75e2e82ba928f02bcc592c3f6e2ff5cd647b91bd2c | quote: Rclone will not work with your normal username and password

- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: free — direct/share links unmetered, no egress pricing published | metered: no
- identity: email
- interface: s3, rest, rclone
- limits note: free 8 GB shared with Mail attachments; 'without-limit' phone auto-upload requires a paid Mail Space tariff of 256 GB+; heavy-file send up to 100 GB only on paid plans
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: rclone backend 'mailru' (rclone/rclone backend/mailru, in core); web/desktop clients; S3 backend exists only on the enterprise VK Cloud product
- composes with: 8 GB x unlimited free accounts = 125 accounts per TB. Worst yield in the niche; the historical 1 TB gift was cut ~12.5x in 2024.
- reliability: Quota was cut from 1 TB to 8 GB for grandfathered accounts (Oct 2024); unlimited auto-upload stops being unlimited the moment the paid tariff lapses and already-uploaded files start consuming quota.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:

## Mail.ru Cloud / Облако Mail (VK) — 1 TB with free public-link download

- `storage/mail-ru-cloud-mail-1-tb-with-free-public-link-download` | fails-quota | evidence documented | binding none | category consumer-cloud-drive
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-03T15:03:47.540Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-04
- url https://cloud.mail.ru/
- price 224 RUB per month for the +2 TB tier (2.01 TB total with the free space) bought for a year = 112 RUB per TB-month; the +1 TB tier is 133 RUB per month bought for a year = 133 RUB per TB-month. The largest tier listed totals 2.01 TB, so 10 TiB is not reachable on one account. No USD figure was computed. | parsed USD 1.64/TB-mo
- disagrees on identity_kind: `storage/mail-ru-cloud` says any-phone, `storage/mail-ru-cloud-mail-1-tb-with-free-public-link-download` says card
- disagrees on identity_kind: `storage/mail-ru-cloud-mail-1-tb-with-free-public-link-download` says card, `storage/mail-ru-cloud-mail-space` says email
- free tier: Free tier 8 GB with uploads up to 1 GB per file; a Mail Space subscription raises the per-file limit to 100 GB. Purchase page tiers: +256 GB, +512 GB, +1 TB and +2 TB (2.01 TB total). | 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: unverified: no download-volume or egress term appears on the purchase page or the help pages read. | metered: no
- identity: card | detail: A bank card is bound in the tariff payment window to buy a subscription (promotion terms); the sign-up form was not readable (shell page): unverified.
- interface: rest, webdav, rclone, webdav-proxy
- limits note: The unlimited feature on the purchase page is unlimited auto-upload of phone photos and videos, which do not count against the space; it is not unlimited storage. The largest purchasable tier listed totals 2.01 TB. Free tier is 8 GB with a 1 GB per-file ceiling.
- interface detail: webdav + rest
- tooling: WebDAV endpoint live (`https://webdav.cloud.mail.ru/` -> 302 to auth). rclone `mailru` backend, alist/OpenList `mailru` driver, desktop sync client, official REST API. Upload up to 100 GB/file on paid tiers.
- composes with: One account = one Cloud; the largest tier listed totals 2.01 TB, so the stored need takes several accounts; no documented route for that.
- reliability: VK-owned, so politically exposed for a foreign user but technically stable for a decade. The ₽1,560 first-year price IS a trial price — steady state from year two is ₽3,000, a 92 % increase, and must be budgeted at ₽3,000. Plan maximum 4 TB means it cannot host 20 TiB at any price.
- notes: 1 TB plan. Landing promo (2026-10-15 to 2026-11-19): first year ₽1,560, from the second year ₽3,000 («Цена за первый год — 1 560 ₽, со второго года — 3 000 ₽»). Free tier 8 GB, 2 GB max file. Paid 1-4 TB.
- evidence note: documented: the 8 GB free tier, the 1 GB per-file limit and the 100 GB limit with a subscription are quoted from https://help.mail.ru/cloud/files/upload/; the 2.01 TB largest tier total and the 224 rubles per month price from https://cloud.mail.ru/promo/quota/; the bank card requirement of the promotion from https://blog.mail.ru/terms_cloud_autumn_26/ (vendor pages read 2026-11-03); egress and the sign-up form were not read

  - dead_end.first_recorded: 2026-10-21
  - price_verbatim: $3.03/TB/mo at 1 TB steady state (₽3,000/yr = $36.33/yr). Trial year: $1.58/TB/mo (₽1,560 = $18.89). At 5 TB and 20 TB: NOT AVAILABLE — the product ceiling is 4 TB, so no 5 TB or 20 TB price exists. Egress free.
