## Vimeo (Free plan)

- `storage/vimeo` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence reported | binding per-object-cap | category media
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://vimeo.com
- free tier: Unlimited storage for public, non-embeddable videos; 3 GB total for embeddable and non-public videos. This is a 2024-onwards rewrite of the old '500 MB/week' rule — the weekly quota now applies only to legacy paid Plus/Pro accounts, not Free. | unit: GB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: 200 GB per file | bytes: 200000000000 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: The killer is not quota, it is that Vimeo deletes exactly the thing you want to store: 'your source file will be permanently deleted if you are a Free or Basic member' | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Unlimited bandwidth for public non-embeddable videos; 1 TB/month for embeddable and non-public. No per-GB charge on Free. | metered: no | free allowance: 1 TB per month
- identity: email
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): 200 GB per file [1]
  - per-object-cap (binding): 200 GB/file [1]
- limits note: ~200 GB per file advised for a successful upload, and no video longer than 24 hours. That 200 GB/file is genuinely large.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: Vimeo API v3 `me/videos` exists but download links are plan-gated.
- composes with: Unlimited public videos x unlimited free accounts. In principle unbounded capacity at zero cost — the only thing stopping it is the original-file problem below.
- reliability: The killer is not quota, it is that Vimeo deletes exactly the thing you want to store: 'your source file will be permanently deleted if you are a Free or Basic member'. Free accounts also cannot enable downloads at all, so there is no supported retrieval path.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: 'unlimited public videos ... Embeddable and non-public videos are limited to 3 GB'; '1 TB of bandwidth per month'
  - [2] 2026-10-21: 'your source file will be permanently deleted if you are a Free or Basic member'
  - [3] 2026-10-21: 'Plan type: Free and Basic members cannot enable video downloads. They also cannot download videos from their own account.'
  - [4] 2026-10-21: 'files are kept within 200 GB ... no videos longer than 24 hours'
