Free vs Growth

  • Free: 10 counted uploads per hub, files up to 5 MB.
  • Growth: unlimited uploads, files up to 5 GB, 100 GB storage.

Links, notes, and some embeds generally do not count toward the upload quota. When you hit a wall: Plans: when to upgrade.

Folders, notes, and embeds

  • Folders keep a hub readable as it grows.
  • Notes are in-hub text, useful for intros and reading guides.
  • YouTube / webpage embeds let you point at a URL without uploading the file.

PDFs

PDFs open in Kahana’s reader inside the hub. You can also import public-domain and openly licensed ebooks from Internet Archive. Guide: Import from Internet Archive.

Rights

Only add what you have the right to share. Finding a file online is not permission. Confirm rights before a hub is unlisted, listed on Library, or monetized. Guide: Content rights.
