Storage Quotas

CDN provides free storage for the Hack Club community. Your quota depends on whether you're verified.

What's My Quota?

New users start unverified. Once you verify with Hack Club, you automatically get 50GB.

Get 50GB Free (Verified Tier)

1. Visit auth.hackclub.com and submit your ID for verification
2. Wait for HCA ops to approve your ID (usually takes a day or two)
3. Once approved, sign in to CDN again to automatically unlock 50GB

Your quota upgrades automatically once HCA confirms your verification.

Check Your Usage

Your homepage shows available storage with a progress bar. You'll see warnings when you hit 80% usage, and uploads will be blocked at 100%.

Via API:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
