Tarlo

What Tarlo is

Tarlo is a paid web service for managed IPFS file storage and pinning, distributing files across the IPFS network. You can drag and drop files, upload folders, or pin existing content identifiers. Each file receives a unique CID, and identical files are deduplicated automatically. Tarlo says its plans have no bandwidth limits, egress charges, or metered bandwidth. Starter costs €5 a month for 10 GB of decentralized storage, file and folder uploads, CID pinning, and a public IPFS gateway. Pro costs €15 a month, includes 250 GB, priority pinning, private storage, priority support, and a free first month. Pro private files are kept on an isolated IPFS node in offline mode and are not announced publicly. Public IPFS files may be distributed permanently and cannot be completely removed. Individual files are limited to 50 MB and folders to 25 GB. Account data is stored in European data centers, while public files are distributed globally. Tarlo supports Google sign-in, Stripe checkout, HTTPS, bcrypt password hashing, and optional TOTP two-factor authentication.
