Re:Ask HN: How to best handle “unlimited” use tiers in a SaaS? by eberkund on Saturday December 17, 2016 @04:45PM (#13202838)
What about having a maximum file size? If you are a site for documents, user's probably don't have any reason to upload a 3 GB file.

Yep, I'll be enforcing a max file size (it's only for text-based documents). I guess my bigger concern is spam. Allowing a user to upload an "unlimited" amount of data is a DOS vector, especially since I'm the sole dev. So I'll need to do some sort of curtailing, but hopefully the kind that would be invisible to anyone using the site for its normal purpose.
