Common questions about storage, access, and upgrades.
What's the difference between cold storage and hybrid storage?
Cold storage is immediate-access online archive storage for large libraries and long-term retention. Hybrid storage adds NVMe-backed hot access for active files, frequent browsing, collaboration, and heavier repeated use.
Why is the 1 TB free plan cold storage?
Cold storage has lower operating costs, which lets us offer larger capacity without tradeoffs on security. Files remain available for direct downloads and media streaming; hybrid adds NVMe-backed speed for active workflows.
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 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.
