| Limits |
per-object-cap 100 MB. Session uploads (not Projects) are 40-50 MB/file and are deleted after 7 days — do not confuse the two. Projects created before Aug 2026 may exceed 5 GB and then refuse new uploads. |
| Identity | email email |
| Egress | No egress concept — files are read by the model or viewed in-app, not served over a shareable URL. |
| Per-object cap | 100 MB per file (100000000 bytes) |
| Retention | Session uploads (not Projects) are 40-50 MB/file and are deleted after 7 days — do not confuse the two (7 days) |
| Interface | unknown Web UI only for consumer. No public Files API. Enterprise has File Connectors and an organization repository (being retired 2026-10-01). |
| Tooling | None for storage. Unofficial browser automation only. |
| Composes with | Unlimited Projects x 5 GB each. Projects are the multiplicative axis and the help centre states the cap is absent. Unlike NotebookLM, adding a Project costs nothing and there is no account-wide byte wall documented. |
| Reliability | Projects retain files 'until deleted', which is the good half. Also, the access path is Perplexity's own readers — 'Support isn't guaranteed for every file type, so a file Perplexity cannot parse is stored without being searchable or actionable', i.e. opaque blobs get stored but are unusable and un-exportable via any documented route. |
