Networks & Backup
Anytype Network
By default, everyone joins the Anytype network when they create a new account. They can later switch to either to Local-only or Self-hosted if they wish.
Every Anytype user has access to a remote backup node provided by Anytype. Its capacity is currently limited to 1 GB. Objects and other content have no impact on this limit; only files are limited. If you go over the limit, a warning will appear, and you'll be able to ask for more storage.
Our backup nodes are located in Switzerland, and we use AWS (Amazon Web Services).
How to switch back to Anytype network
We strongly recommend using dedicated identities for each network. If you are switching from a Self-hosted network, export all your spaces, and import them into a new identity after switching the network mode.
Please note that all your devices should be manually switched to Anytype Network mode.
