Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run. The software carries no separate license fee; each dimension reflects a different virtual machine size and family. Options span general-purpose (m, t), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r), and storage-optimized (i) families across several hardware generations. Within each family, sizes like nano, micro, small, medium, large, and xlarge scale up CPU and memory. Larger sizes cost more per hour. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and billing tracks actual running hours. Any AWS infrastructure charges apply separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance measured per hour. The instance runs a preconfigured Samba file server with SMB, FTP, SFTP, NFS, WebDAV, and rsync support, plus a web-based file manager. You pick the instance size that matches your storage and user load.
Hourly software charges track running hours only. A stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software charge. Note that AWS may still bill separately for attached storage while the instance is stopped. Those AWS infrastructure charges are billed by AWS, not included in this listing.
No. Every instance size runs the same file server software and protocols. Larger sizes give more CPU and memory, which supports more simultaneous users and heavier file transfers. Smaller sizes suit light workloads. The feature set does not change with the size you pick.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
