All of which disable sharing for a file if bandwidth usage is too high.

That leads to the question. How much bandwidth does imgz stand up to? It says it's "included" so no charges, but quota is not clear.

>No. I don't know. It's not a problem yet. If it becomes a problem, I'll make it your problem, but I think we're gonna be okay.

Looks like there's no quota for now.

The quota is "whenever CloudFlare decides I've used too much of their caching", I think. Hetzner is pretty great about bandwidth, I think they'll let me use as much as will saturate the connection to the DC.
Might be worth looking at pulling with a Worker if that's ever an issue. They don't care if you do it that way :)

E: lol you were in that thread, you probably know about it

I was but I'd forgotten, thanks for reminding me! Also, Cloudflare now have a very nice image resizing product which I'd probably use if IMGZ didn't need to resize ten images per year.

I'm not sure they're ready for my kind of volume yet.

The bandwidth limit for the aforementioned services is probably higher than when stavros will make it your problem?
You'd think so, but have you ever tried to share a file from one of these services to a popular forum or subreddit?

They don't list their per file bandwidth quotas because they are incredibly low, suitable for cloud storage, not for file sharing, especially not mass sharing.
