For Prepaid plans the storage is charged at €4 per TB per month. You can view
your usage in the [transaction log](/user/prepaid/transactions).
**All bandwidth used from the filesystem is charged**, there are no free
downloads from the filesystem. This means that any time you or anyone else
downloads something from a directory owned by your account that bandwidth usage
will be counted and charged at a rate of €2 per TB. It also means that you will
not be able to access your files if your account reaches its bandwidth limit.
Your only options then are to upgrade or wait for your transfer cap to free up
again.
Downloads from the filesystem are charged at €2 / TB for prepaid. With Patreon
plans there's a monthly limit. If you turn bandwidth sharing off in the account
settings then other people will use the daily download limit. Otherwise they
will use your account's transfer limit.
## Free download limit
The pixeldrain filesystem uses the same download limit as the regular files on
pixeldrain. The only difference is that the limit is 2 GB higher. So while you
can freely download up to 6 GB per day from regular pixeldrain files, you can
download up to 8 GB per day from the filesystem. When the limit is exceeded the
speed is limited to 1 MiB/s like usual.
If you want to embed pixeldrain files on your own website, distribute direct
download links or share files that are larger than the download limit then you
should turn the 'Bandwidth sharing' option on. Otherwise people will have
trouble downloading your files.
