Latitude.sh storage products do not charge their own egress fee. The only thing that may show up on your invoice is your server’s existing bandwidth quota. The rule depends on the storage product, because Object storage and Block / File storage use different network paths:
  • Object storage is reached over the public internet, so uploads from a Latitude.sh server to a bucket consume your server’s bandwidth quota like any other outbound traffic.
  • Block and File storage attach over the storage network, so the traffic is free. If it appears in your bandwidth metrics on a bonded NIC, the charge is waived on the invoice.

​
Object storage

Object storage is reached over the public internet through its S3 endpoint. Traffic between your Latitude.sh server and the bucket leaves the server through its public network interface, just like any other internet request.
  • Traffic out of a bucket is free, no matter where it goes. Reads to your Latitude.sh server, to an application on your laptop, or to another cloud are not billed by Latitude.sh.
  • Traffic into a bucket from the internet is free.
  • Uploads from your Latitude.sh server to a bucket use the same outbound interface as any other internet egress, so they consume the server’s bandwidth quota. Once the quota is exceeded, the same overage rate applies as for any other outbound internet traffic from that server. This is not a separate storage egress fee — it is the server’s standard bandwidth charge.
If you connect from outside Latitude.sh (for example, from a laptop or another provider), Latitude.sh does not charge bandwidth on its side. Your local ISP or cloud provider may have its own egress fees.

​
Block storage

Block volumes attach to bare metal servers over Latitude.sh’s storage network using a block protocol. They never touch the public internet.
  • All traffic between your server and the volume is free, in either direction.
  • On bare metal servers with bonded interfaces, this traffic shares a NIC with public internet traffic and may appear in your server’s bandwidth metrics. Any resulting charge is removed from your invoice — you are not billed for it.

​
File storage

File systems attach to bare metal servers over Latitude.sh’s storage network using a file protocol. They never touch the public internet.
  • All traffic between your server and the file system is free, in either direction.
  • On bare metal servers with bonded interfaces, this traffic shares a NIC with public internet traffic and may appear in your server’s bandwidth metrics. Any resulting charge is removed from your invoice — you are not billed for it.

Frequently asked questions

No. Latitude.sh Object storage does not charge for egress. The traffic leaves your server over the public internet and consumes the server’s standard bandwidth quota — the same charge you would pay for any other outbound internet traffic from that server, regardless of the destination.
No. The Latitude.sh bandwidth quota measures egress from your server, not ingress to it. Downloads from Object storage to your server are free and do not count toward your quota.
Yes. When Block or File storage traffic appears in a server’s bandwidth metrics on a bonded NIC, the resulting charge is removed from the invoice before it is finalized. The cost to you is $0. If you ever see a charge you believe should have been waived, contact support.
No. Latitude.sh only bills bandwidth on servers it hosts. Uploads to a bucket from a laptop, another cloud, or any non-Latitude.sh source are free on the Latitude.sh side. Your origin’s own provider may have its own egress fees.
