Plans, storage, and retention basics
Plans, storage, and retention basics
Paid Vault storage is scalable: your plan determines how much is included, not a maximum. Additional storage is billed at $0.04/GiB-month, and paid Vault storage has no fixed capacity limit. Paid Photon Vault has no per-file upload size restriction, so you can upload files of any size.
Vault with Relay
Relay Lite: 50 GiB included. Relay Pro: 150 GiB included. Relay Studio: 350 GiB included. Storage beyond the included amount is $0.04/GiB-month, with no fixed storage cap.
Vault Standalone
A dedicated Vault option with 350 GiB included, Vault Intake, and Desktop Vault Sync. Additional storage is $0.04/GiB-month, with no fixed storage cap.
How storage works by plan
- Storage included: 10 GiB included on Vault Free, 50 GiB included on Relay Lite, 150 GiB included on Relay Pro, and 350 GiB included on Relay Studio or Vault Standalone.
- Additional storage pricing: all paid Vault options bill usage beyond the included amount at $0.04/GiB-month.
- Maximum storage: paid Vault storage has no fixed capacity limit. Vault Free is different: it has a 10 GiB limit with no paid overage.
- Storage usage: large files and multiple versions count toward stored capacity, so old versions can matter.
- Vault Intake availability: Vault Intake is plan dependent. Check Vault pricing before promising an intake workflow.
- Retention behavior: Vault Free files expire seven days after upload. Paid Vault files are retained persistently.
Beginner rule of thumb
Use Free Vault to learn. Use Vault with Relay when you already send live transfers and want storage too. Use Vault Standalone when your main job is secure storage or client intake.
