I was logged into my console and ready to set this up when I thought I should ask first: Anyone else done this? Is it really 75GB free? I see the ***asterisks, but they are never qualified anywhere (as far as I can tell).
Comments
Hover over the "Legal Notice" to see the qualifications. The way I read it, the first 75GB of one zone infrequent access is free. The catch is that the standard/default storage class in Paris isn't ONEZONE_IA, but the standard in Amsterdam and Warsaw is (at least for now).
I had to add "storage_class = ONEZONE_IA" to my rclone config for Paris.
I haven't received an invoice since I started using object storage, but the estimated breakdown on the billing page only shows storage charges for local SSD (which would be my stardust instance).
I guess that's what I got charged anyway when I used it...

I created test buckets in all regions and played with rclone.
For Paris, I had:
Amsterdam:
Warsaw:
It's annoying the ONEZONE_IA only works in Paris. I'm concerned if Amsterdam and Warsaw go multi-zone I'll have to change my config. (Paris also seemed about 20% slower when testing from my VM in Dallas.) Prelim invoice for July shows usage but no charge for object storage. 2 stardust instances ran to 0.8 euro this month.
Why are folks complaining about quirks of a free service?
If paid plans had them, concerns are valid of course.
But bitching about free? Whats this LET?

People don't want to sign up for something "free" and then get a surprise charge for it because they didn't use it exactly the way the fine print said. Like maybe it's only free when there is a full moon on a Tuesday. Or in this particular case, it sounds like it's only free if the client computer is in Paris.
You can probably proxy through a Scaleway VPS for free traffic

So egress via Cloudflare should be feee
Same as backblaze
That triggered a part of my previous question
