| Free tier | Two separate numbers, and the split matters: free plan storage is 8 GB, but the per-file ceiling is unlimited (marketing says 1 TB) on every plan including free, with unlimited bandwidth. Anonymous temporary uploads accept up to 1 TB per file and self-delete after 7 days. unit TB; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
Free 8 GB storage, unlimited file size, unlimited bandwidth. Rate limits: public upload init 500/hour (files <1 GB) and 30/hour (>=1 GB) per IP; chunks 500/hour; finalize 30/hour; bulk zip 10/hour per user. Anonymous downloads expire 7 hours after link generation; temp files auto-delete at 7 days. |
| Identity | institution (inferred, not read) not published |
| Egress | Unlimited bandwidth on all plans, stated on the pricing table and repeated in docs. No egress product. |
| Per-object cap | 1 TB per file (1000000000000 bytes) |
| Retention | Anonymous downloads expire 7 hours after link generation; temp files auto-delete at 7 days. |
| Interface | rest, webdav, rclone, cli webdav |
| Tooling | Documented rclone: rclone config create patrins webdav url=https://patrins.com/dav user=[address removed] pass=YOUR_DAV_TOKEN. Also REST + tus 1.0 resumable upload, webhooks, CLI, a Telegram bot and a Windows net use drive mapping. |
| Composes with | rclone WebDAV mount + N free accounts x 8 GB permanent, or the anonymous 1 TB-per-file path for transit. The 8 GB cap is the binding number for storage; 1 TB/file only helps if something downstream holds the bytes. |
| Reliability | Per-file cap without matching storage is the classic trap: 1 TB/file x 8 GB total means the big-file capability is unusable without paying. API init returns 401 'Authentication required' without a bearer token, so 'no account needed' only holds for the temp flow. |
