| Limits |
The fetch only works on a direct link that needs no login on the source site; a host page with a download button is refused before the transfer starts. |
| Binding | volume-quota At 1 TiB/month the 25 GB storage allowance binds first and hard: the 5 GB per-file cap is generous relative to it, and deleting after download does not change the fact that the account holds 25 GB at a time. |
| Identity | email 'An upload.am account. Remote upload lives in the cabinet, so register for free if you have not already.' Registration was not attempted, so the fields are unverified beyond an account being required. |
| Egress | No traffic allowance stated; files are served from the account's links with optional password, download limit and expiry. free allowance: unstated |
| Per-object cap | 5 GB per file on the Free plan ('a file within your plan's size limit. On the Free plan that means up to 25 GB of storage and 5 GB per file'). (5368709120 bytes) |
| Retention | unverified: the page describes expiry controls for links the user creates, but no default retention period for stored files. |
| Interface | unknown Web cabinet only: paste an http(s) link, the server fetches it in the background, and the file appears in a folder where it can be previewed, renamed, shared or versioned. Private-range and credential-bearing URLs are refused. |
| Tooling | Browser. No API is documented on the feature pages read, so a wrapper drives the cabinet. |
| Composes with | It is the storage end of a relay: pull a direct link into a durable account and share it with controls the original host lacks. |
| Reliability | Remote fetch is asynchronous and failures arrive by email, so a wrapper cannot tell success from a silent queue. The service refuses private-network URLs and executable types, which will reject some legitimate archives. |
| Notes | The clearest published free URL-pull-to-storage allowance found: 25 GB stored, 5 GB per file, account required, direct links only. Useful as a staging buffer, not as the 10 TiB tier. |
| Evidence note | documented The plan limits and the remote-upload mechanics are quoted from the vendor page; no fetch was executed, which a measured rung needs. |
