Billing
ossbrowser is free. However, OSS operations performed through ossbrowser incur standard OSS fees, same as through the console. For example:
-
Uploading and downloading objects in a local environment: PUT request fees, GET request fees, and outbound data transfer fees apply. Uploaded objects incur storage fees based on their storage class.
-
Uploading and downloading objects over an internal network: PUT and GET request fees and storage fees apply, with no traffic fees. For example, install ossbrowser on an ECS instance to transfer objects over the Alibaba Cloud internal network.
If you transfer data between the Chinese mainland and regions outside the Chinese mainland, the Internet or internal network may not provide sufficient speed. Enable Transfer Acceleration to improve throughput, which incurs transfer acceleration fees. Other billable value-added services are listed in Value-added billing items.
