How are files counted against my included storage

For every storage tier (live, archive) scoopa calculates the monthly storage peak once per hour.

All files that are live, including files in the trash and files restored from archive, are counted towards the live tier.

Each file that is uploaded to scoopa is automatically in the "live" storage tier for at least 7 days. (exception: direct-to-archive).

After 7 days the file can be transitioned into the archive tier or can be moved to trash. Files in the trash will remain there for 7 days. The trash cannot be emptied by hand. Contents in the trash will not be billed again in the next month.

Example

If you upload 100GB on the first day of the month in the professional subscription, you can archive all of it automatically after 7 days and again upload 100GB (and so on, and so on...) without going over your 100GB of included storage. However if you upload 150GB you will be billed 50GB overusage for this month, regardless of how long you were over the limit.

Pro-Tip: You can make sure to stay in your included storage. Read more about that in the Cost-Control article

Understanding the different pricing tiers

There are 3 different storage pricing tiers in scoopa.

Live, Archive and Direct-to-Archive

Files in the live tier can be previewed and downloaded in both high- and low-res at maximum speeds. Therefore it is the most expensive tier in scoopa at currently 0.50€ - 1.25€/GB depending on your subscription plan.

Files in the archive tier are drastically cheaper at 0.012€/GB in all subscription plans and therefore suitable for long-term storage. Files in archive can only be previewed and not downloaded.

Normally it is ok for files to be in the Live tier before beeing able to transiting into the archive tier, because it reflects the normal lifecycle of any asset in live production. That beeing said, we understand, that there is often a desire to ingest existing archives into scoopa. For that purpose we offer a third tier: Direct-to-Archive. At 0.20€/GB for all subscription plans, we are offering an attractive path directly to our archive storage.

Traffic pricing:

Incoming traffic into scoopa (i.e. uploads) are always free of charge. Downloading assets from scoopa counts against your included traffic volume (from 1,200GB up to 48,000GB/year). As you go up in subscription plans, traffic gets noticable cheaper due to scaling effects. For heavy users, a more expensive subscription can be the better choice.
