Common questions about storage, access, and upgrades.
What's the difference between cold storage and hybrid storage?
Both support everyday online access. Cold storage keeps files online for direct downloads, sharing, and supported media streaming without an archive-restore request. Hybrid adds an NVMe-backed hot cache that can accelerate eligible file access, including repeated reads.
Can I use cold storage every day?
Yes. You can regularly access, download, share, and stream supported media from cold storage. Your files stay online without an archive-restore request. Hybrid adds a hot cache; both storage options support everyday use.
Why is the 1 TB free plan cold storage?
The cold tier keeps files online without an additional hot cache, which helps us offer larger capacity at a lower operating cost. You can use it for everyday access as well as long-term keeping. All plans use the same core security controls.
Which free plans require payment information?
Scout includes 25 GB with no card. Add a payment method to receive +5 GB while keeping Scout, or use it to unlock the verified-free 50 GB Hybrid or 1 TB online storage (Cold) plan. We charge only when you explicitly select a paid plan.
Can I upgrade later without moving files?
Yes. Upgrades keep your files in place and adjust storage class and capacity in your account.
Do all plans include the same security?
Yes. All plans use the same encryption and core security controls.
Is my data private and owned by me?
Yes. You retain ownership of your data, and we do not claim rights to your files.
