Bandwidth limitations

Hello,

I have read in another post (Sharing limits, bandwidth restrictions [Solved] - Icedrive Discussion / General Queries - Icedrive Community) that there is a monthly limitation of 2TB bandwidth for the 1TB plan.

Most cloud services offer similar bandwidth, but not per month, but per day. If this 2TB per month limitation is correct, I’m afraid I won’t consider you as an option, because if I use you for backups, I’ll reach the limit in less than a week.

That said, is the limitation you indicate in this post correct?

Can you kindly specify your limitations for each of the plans you offer?

Thank you very much, and best regards,
Joan

Hi @Ivaneck Welcome to the community! :slightly_smiling_face:

Bandwidth limits apply only to files you share (public links etc), not to your personal uploads or downloads. When someone downloads a shared file, their bandwidth is used if they have an Icedrive account. If not, it comes from your allocation. Also as you mentioned yes, this is per-month.

Hope this helps.

Yes, it helps, indeed. Your explanation makes everything perfectly clear. Thank you very much, Tom, and best regards.

No problem. Happy to help!

Sorry to intrude again.

If everything is as you explained, @Tom, and I understand it is, the following article:

How the bandwidth statistics are calculated- Icedrive Support Center

, doesn’t seem much consistent. It implies that there is a bandwidth balance, not only a Shared one, but also a Personal one. The impression the article gives is that these bandwidth balances, both the Personal and the Shared, must eventually reach a limit at some point.

Is this simply a somewhat outdated article?

Sorry to be so insistent, but I prefer to get things straight before I do anything, especially on issues that are difficult to see and test on the spot.

Once again, thank you.

I’ve used Icedrive for a few years and only for personal down/up loads and my stats always show zero bandwidth usage (and I upload many GB per month for backups). I don’t share any links. Seems like that article is out of date.

The Bandwidth restrictions only applies to shared files, not files you upload and download to your personal storage. I will inform the development team to update the article.
