Announcing Git Large File Storage

I would suspect the point is rather that you have a bunch of megabyte range files, and you rarely update them and don't have to sync. But for most workflows this feature seems targeted at, the free tier seems insufficient.

I'm having trouble seeing where a 1GB/month quota in any way meshes with "large file" support. The free tier is basically "test out the API, don't even think about using it for real".

Yes, that is the free tier. If you want to use it seriously, it will cost some money. OR you can use it and host your own file server, for free.

I don't think these facts are a problem. They create an open source tool, provide a location to try it out, and a service to pay to use it if you like it and don't want to host yourself. Seems like a fair offer.

GitLab.com offers 5GB per repo support for git-annex (unlimited repos).
