Is Seedr right for you? What it does and its limits

Seedr fits people who want supported links fetched into cloud storage, then played or accessed from other devices. It is not for everyone. Before you rely on it, check link support, storage, plan-based playback quality, protocol access, connected storage and how long transfers take. This page lists where Seedr fits and where it does not. For plan details, see pricing.
Seedr fits if...
You want a supported link imported while your computer is offline. It does not fit if you need every URL to work. Rarely a link is slow or impossible to complete.
You want to play a file without saving a full copy to your phone or computer first. It does not fit if you need playback before the file finishes importing: a file is available once its import has finished.
Your collection fits your plan's storage. Free accounts have 2 GB, Basic 50 GB, Pro 500 GB and Master 2 TB. It does not fit if you need an uncapped archive or want to store more than your available space.
Your playback goals match your plan and device. Free plays up to 480p and Master up to 4K. It does not fit if you expect Seedr to upscale a lower-resolution source or to guarantee 4K on every TV and player.
You want to cast from the Seedr player or use a listed TV or media-player route. It does not fit if you need a specific TV model or player to work without checking its support.
You want file-client access and your plan includes the protocol. FTP, FTPS and SFTP are on Basic and above, and WebDAV is on Master and above. It does not fit if you need these on an entry plan, or expect a media server to work without a mounted endpoint and network access.
You want to move files between Seedr and a connected cloud account. It does not fit if you need a direct migration between any two providers. External storage is part of paid plans and the number of connections depends on your plan.
A bounded seeding ratio or time meets your workflow. It does not fit if you need indefinite seeding or a guaranteed result against one network's rule.
Check these limits first
Storage
Imports are limited only by the unused space in your storage. See Do you limit link transfer size? and compare plans on pricing.
Source support
Seedr imports supported links on its own servers, so your device can be off. Some links are slow or cannot be completed. See How do I make Seedr get files for me?.
Playback quality
The best quality you can use depends on your plan: Free up to 480p, Lite 500p, Basic 740p, Pro 1080p, and Master and Gold up to 4K. The original file sets the ceiling. See Can I watch videos and open files without downloading them?.
TV and device compatibility
Supported routes include Chromecast, AirPlay, a TV browser, Google TV, Roku, Kodi, Infuse, Plex and Jellyfin. See How do I play Seedr on my TV?.
Protocol access by plan
FTP, FTPS and SFTP start at Basic. WebDAV needs Master. You sign in with your Seedr email and password. See Does Seedr support FTP or WebDAV access? and How do I use Seedr with media servers?.
Connected storage
Seedr works with connected cloud storage on paid plans, and the number of connections depends on your plan. Direct transfer between two outside providers is not documented. See What's new for cloud storage, apps and your account.
Seeding time
On standard networks Seedr keeps transferring until 1:1 or up to 12 hours. Advanced networks depend on your plan. See How much does Seedr seed?.
