Kumo2 Cloud Storage is here: 200 GB for $1/month

Kumo2 Cloud Storage is now available. It provides S3-compatible object storage for files, media, backups, and application assets, with the familiar S3 tools and APIs you already use.

Our vision

The AI era is bringing larger models, richer datasets, more generated content, and longer application records, so storage needs are growing quickly. Our vision is to provide affordable, simple, high-capacity storage that individual developers and small teams can realistically use for their cloud data.

Current availability

Cloud Storage is currently in public beta and can only be activated in the LAX (lax) region. New activation is not available in other regions yet; use the regions shown in the console as the source of truth as the rollout expands.

What we are launching

Cloud Storage is organized around buckets. During the public beta, new buckets can currently be activated only in the LAX (lax) region. As more regions become available, you will be able to choose an enabled region when creating a bucket. Each enabled region exposes its own S3 endpoint, so you can place data closer to an application or its users.

Capacity is one shared global pool rather than a separate allowance for every region. For now, that pool is used in LAX; as more regions become available, buckets in them will draw from the same purchased capacity.

What you can do

• Use an S3-compatible interface: Bring existing S3 SDKs, tools, and workflows.
• Regional buckets: The public beta currently supports LAX; choose from enabled regions when the rollout expands.
• Manage files in the console: Browse object paths, upload, download, and delete objects, and view usage.
• Connect quickly: Copy the S3 endpoint and generate a ready-to-run command for CLI access.
• Configure CORS: Set allowed origins, methods, and request headers for browser applications that need to access a bucket.
• See usage clearly: The console shows global capacity, used space, available space, and object counts.

Current pricing

The current storage plan is:

• Capacity: 200 GB
• Price: $1 per month
• Billing: Monthly

This is the current monthly price for the storage capacity plan. The checkout page shows the final amount when a different billing term, promo code, or currency is selected. If we add more capacities or terms, the available choices will be updated in the console.

How to get started

1. Sign in to Kumo2 and open Cloud Storage.
2. Choose the 200 GB plan with monthly billing and complete payment.
3. Wait for the S3 credentials to sync to the available regions.
4. Create a bucket, choose its region, and start uploading objects.
5. Reveal the credentials when needed, then copy the quick-connect command or configure your application with the endpoint and S3 keys.

Organization owners and admins manage activation and plan changes. The secret key is only shown after you explicitly reveal it. Copy it securely, never commit it to a repository, and remove one-off commands containing the key from shared shell history.

What it is good for

Cloud Storage is useful for user uploads, static assets, website media, application exports, and backup archives. Browser-based applications can use it with a CORS rule, while scripts and automation can use an existing S3 client or CLI.

Billing and capacity notes

The console keeps usage visible. When the quota is reached, uploads are paused; delete objects you no longer need or upgrade the storage plan to restore writes.

If the billing term ends without renewal, the service enters a read-only grace period. The current product behavior keeps downloads available for 7 days and restores writes after renewal; use the status and dates shown in the console as the source of truth.
