Pay-As-You-Go (Postpaid)
Last updated: 2025-08-27 17:48:15
Cloud File Storage (CFS) (general series) can be billed using the pay-as-you-go (postpaid) mode or a resource package (prepaid). This document describes billing with the first method. This method applies to all regions where CFS services are available. CFS charges you based on your storage usage and bills you on an hourly basis.
If your usage can be estimated or if you have additional throughput requirements, we recommend you use a resource package for a larger discount. You can purchase a resource package on the resource package purchase page. For more information, see Resource Purchase.
