# Atomic Cloud File Transfer Service

> A pay-per-use file transfer service. Send large files anonymously without creating an account.

## About

Built by a software engineer who's also studying at dance school. I'm building simple, honest tools to help pay for my studies. No venture capital, no growth hacking - just a useful service at a fair price.

## What This Service Does

This is a "digital post office" for file sharing. Users upload files, pay for storage and downloads upfront, and receive a shareable link. Recipients can download without accounts.

## Why Not WeTransfer?

This is a **drop-and-go** service. No accounts, no upsells, no subscription traps.

- WeTransfer free: 2GB limit, expires in 7 days, ads everywhere
- WeTransfer Pro: $12/month subscription you'll forget to cancel
- **This service**: Pay once for exactly what you need. Done.

Dead simple. No ties. No greediness. The pricing reflects that.

## Key Capabilities

- Maximum file size: 250 GB
- Storage duration (TTL): 7 days to 1 year
- Downloads per transfer: 1 to 999
- No account required for senders or recipients
- Anonymous file sharing
- Prepaid, atomic transfers (non-refundable)

## How It Works

1. Select files in browser (size detected, no upload yet)
2. Choose storage duration and download limit
3. See final price before payment
4. Pay via credit card, Bit, or Apple Pay
5. Upload files after payment confirmed
6. Receive shareable download link
7. Optionally extend TTL or downloads later (additions only)

## Pricing Model

Currency: Israeli Shekel (ILS)
Minimum price: ₪4.90

| File Size | 7 Days | 30 Days | 1 Year |
|-----------|--------|---------|--------|
| Up to 5 GB | ₪4.90 | ₪5.40 | ₪10.90 |
| 10 GB | ₪9.90 | ₪10.90 | ₪21.90 |
| 50 GB | ₪34.90 | ₪39.90 | - |
| 100+ GB | ₪44.90 (cap) | ₪54.90 | - |

Note: Files over 100 GB limited to 180 days maximum TTL.

### Our Sweet Spot: 5GB to 50GB

For one-off transfers between 5GB and 50GB, we aim to be the cheapest solution.
No subscription required. No free tier limitations. Just pay and send.

Compare: A single 10GB transfer on WeTransfer Pro costs $12/month minimum.
Here it's ₪9.90 (~$2.70) once. If you only need it once, why pay for a month?

## Service Constraints

- Transfers are prepaid and non-refundable
- Files cannot be canceled or edited after upload
- Extensions only (cannot reduce TTL or downloads)
- Files automatically deleted after TTL expires
- Maximum 999 downloads per transfer
- No VAT (exempt dealer status)
