Limitation

Billing

The ossbrowser software itself is free, but operations performed through ossbrowser follow the same billing logic as operations performed in the console, and corresponding fees are charged according to OSS billing rules. For example:

Uploading and downloading files in a local environment: When you use ossbrowser to upload and download files in a local environment, PUT request fees, GET request fees, and outbound traffic fees are incurred. After files are uploaded to OSS, storage fees are charged based on the storage class.
Uploading and downloading files in an internal network environment: When you use ossbrowser to upload and download files in an Alibaba Cloud internal network environment, only PUT and GET request fees and file storage fees are incurred. No traffic fees are charged. For example, you can create an ECS instance and install ossbrowser on it to upload and download files within the Alibaba Cloud internal network.

Additionally, using the transfer acceleration service incurs transfer acceleration fees. For more information about other OSS value-added fees, see Value-added billable items.
