| Limits | - per-object-cap (binding) 100 MB/file source
100 MB/file; upload requires a registered, in-good-standing account; uploader agreement grants Scribd rights to restrict access/download and to "train machine learning ... models" on content; conversion failures on large or layered PDFs. |
|---|
| Identity | email (placeholder) not published |
|---|
| Egress | Not free-at-scale and not scriptable: downloads are gated by the uploader's setting and often by a Scribd subscription; there is no public direct-file URL, and pages are served as HTML viewer assets. |
|---|
| Per-object cap | 100 MB/file (100000000 bytes) |

| Retention | not stated |

| Interface | rclone wrapper-only |
|---|
| Tooling | No working public API — the official client github.com/scribd/rscribd was archived in Oct 2019; community libs (JSCRIBD, rscribd) are dead against the current site. No rclone backend. |
|---|
| Composes with | 100 MB/record x unlimited records is the right shape, but the chain needs a browser-driven uploader and the download side is paywalled, so it can store but not serve. |
|---|
| Reliability | Uploaded documents get converted and can fail conversion; download availability is controlled by Scribd policy, not the uploader, so retrieval can be revoked unilaterally. |
