Fileflare’s plans include managed storage from 1 GB on the free plan up to 5 TB on Premium. If you need more — or you’d rather control your own storage costs — there are a couple options for getting more space without upgrading further.
Storage tiers vary by plan. Free includes a roomy 1 GB. Higher tiers go up to 5 TB. Above 5 TB requires a custom plan or your own S3-compatible bucket.
Method 1: contact us for more than 5 TB
Standard plans go up to 5 TB. If you need more, reach out — we’ll put together a custom plan with the storage capacity you need. You’ll keep enterprise-level support and an assigned account rep.
Method 2: connect your own storage
Connecting your own S3-compatible bucket means storage costs go to your provider, not Fileflare. There’s no Fileflare-side storage cap when using your own bucket.
- Cloudflare R2 — cheapest option, no bandwidth charges.
- Amazon S3 — most familiar; AWS pricing.
- Other S3-compatible providers (Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi) work via the same connection.
Best done from day one — files uploaded before connecting an external bucket stay on Fileflare’s storage. To move them later, use Replace asset on each, which re-uploads to your bucket.
Common issues
- I uploaded files before connecting my S3 — where are they? Still on Fileflare’s storage. New uploads go to your S3, but old uploads need to be replaced individually to migrate.
- I’m hitting my plan’s storage limit — upgrade tier, contact support for a custom plan, or connect your own S3 bucket.
- The bonus card isn’t showing — bonus is free-plan only. If you’ve upgraded, you won’t see it.
