We've been waiting for this since it was announced. We have > 2PB of media heavy data, and transfer a lot via S3 to the internet.

- Wallacy 4y agoThats problem is for CDN product. On R2 like other Developer products (KV, Worker, DO) you are already paying the bandwidth over the storage price. All those products can be used to HTML and non-HTML product. https://www.cloudflare.com/supplemental-terms/#cloudflare-developer-platform https://www.cloudflare.com/supplemental-terms/#cloudflare-de...
