| Free tier | No paid tier exists, so 1 TB is a ceiling and not a teaser unit TiB; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|
| Price | none stated |
|---|
| Limits | - per-object-cap 100 MiB upload chunk; the per-object ceiling is unpublished source
- write-gated (binding) signup needs a name, date of birth, sex, an international phone number, a postcode and the reCAPTCHA v3 human-verification widget token source
|
|---|
| Binding | write-gated 1 TB free with a working WebDAV endpoint clears the capacity and protocol filters. What binds is the signup: a phone number and an address are collected, and the form is a single-sponsor instance's only gate, so an account that survives is a favour rather than a contract. |
|---|
| Identity | any-phone the signup form requires prenom, nom, date of birth, sexe, an international phone number and a postcode, plus the reCAPTCHA v3 human-verification widget. The JavaScript has no SMS or code path, so the only gate actually exercised is an email activation link |
|---|
| Egress | No traffic allotment is published in the wiki or on the portal. The service is presented as free with a donation page and no metering is mentioned |
|---|
| Per-object cap | 100 MiB upload chunk per the login page's oc_appconfig; the per-object ceiling is the Nextcloud default and is not published |
|---|
| Retention | Until deleted. Public link expiry defaults to 7 days unless changed. No retention clock on stored files |
|---|
| Interface | webdav, rest, rclone |
|---|
| Tooling | rclone webdav, davfs2, curl -u, any Nextcloud client. The WebDAV endpoint is /remote.php/webdav/ for the legacy path and /remote.php/dav/ for the modern one, documented by the operator itself |
|---|
| Composes with | A clean 1 TB WebDAV bucket with no payment and no phone, which drops straight into rclone mount or a Cloudflare-fronted origin. Each account is an independent island and the signup form has a phone field, so farming is not free |
|---|
| Reliability | A single-sponsor instance operated by PSIADE in Toulouse. A 2024 help.nextcloud.com thread predicted imminent shutdown and reported stale certificates; the instance now answers status.php as Nextcloud 31.0.6.2 with valid TLS, so that post is stale, but one funding decision still ends it. The .jp mirror is dead |
|---|
| Notes | The best free Nextcloud in Europe by volume and the least durable: one sponsor, one data centre, and a 2024 forum thread that has already predicted its closure once. A reader should use it with a second copy and not as the second copy. |
