Fair Use
- Dropley is free for everyone. Please use it reasonably.
- Automated bulk uploads or scraping are not permitted.
- Abusive usage may result in rate limit tightening or temporary blocks.
Increasing Limits
Limits are set for system stability and cannot be increased on a per-user basis (there are no users or accounts). If your use case consistently exceeds these limits, consider self-hosting or contacting us through the GitHub repository.
