UserAPI Storage

Simple object storage for your applications. Upload, store, and serve files via a REST API. Designed for backup scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and media servers.

Plain HTTP API

POST to upload, GET to download. Bearer token authentication. No SDKs, just curl.

Unmetered transfers

Fixed plans include generous transfer amounts. We don't count gigabytes until you hit your plan's limit.

Simple pricing

Pay for the storage you use, plus a fixed transfer allowance per plan. No hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is my traffic so high? Regular database backups (daily dumps of 15–20 GB) and media file hosting can easily reach hundreds of GB per month. Our Pro plan includes 2 TB of transfer — a typical active project uses 300–500 GB.

Are there speed limits? No. We don't throttle. Transfer speed depends only on your local connection and the route between your app and our endpoints.

Can I use it for public CDN? Yes, downloads are served via CDN. Hot-linking protection is available.
