Q: What is the difference between 'Global Premium' and 'Regional Premium' ? What should I pay attention to when buying?

PikPak, as a global product, provides two class of membership services starting from July 2023 to offer quality services to users from different countries and regions: 'Global Premium' and 'Regional Premium'. Their main differences are as follows:
1. Global Premium is designed for users from 23 developed countries such as the United States, Canada, and Japan. In addition to enjoying standard premium services, it also provides the highest quality download experience without regional restrictions. No matter where you are in the world, you can enjoy the highest download speed (currently 15MB/s and may be higher in the future). Here is the complete list of developed countries corresponding to Global Premium: United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Finland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand, Qatar, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Uruguay, Kuwait, Turkey, Oman, Bahrain, Iceland.
2. Regional Premium is a preferential premium service provided for users from other countries or regions. If you are not in the above-mentioned developed countries, you can purchase Regional Premium and enjoy a maximum download speed of 6MB/s per file. However, if you go to the above-mentioned developed countries, your download speed will be restricted and you will be prompted to pay for an upgrade to Global Premium.
In addition to the differences in download speed and regional restrictions mentioned above, there are no other differences in service quality between Global Premium and Regional Premium. You may have noticed that the price of Global Premium is significantly higher than that of Regional Premium. This is not only due to different service costs but also because we hope to bring premium services to more developing countries or regions around the world while compressing or even giving up profits. Therefore we have further reduced the price of Regional premium.
When purchasing premium within PikPak's various products, you do not need to worry about purchasing an inappropriate premium class because PikPak will automatically determine the user's country or region and directly provide a suitable premium class for you to purchase. PikPak determines the user's country or region by comprehensively considering multiple factors such as the user's IP address, device language and desensitized SIM card country code.If your country or region is misjudged by PikPak, you can correct it by binding the mobile phone number of your current country or region.
Please note that if you plan to use a redemption code to redeem your premium, you need to first understand whether the redemption code you have obtained is applicable to Global Premium or Regional Premium. In the above-mentioned developed countries or regions it is not possible to use a redemption code for Regional Premium to complete redemption. In other countries or regions you can use redemption codes for Global Premium or Regional Premium respectively to redeem corresponding premium class.
Remarks:
1. If you purchased a premium before July 2023 as long as your premium remains in effect your original premium services will not be affected.
2. The countries or regions mentioned in the above description do not include countries or regions where PikPak currently does not provide services. For details please refer to User Agreement related content.

Q: According to the rules mentioned above, I think I should be a regional member (or global member), but PikPak considers me a global member (or regional member), how can I correct it?

As mentioned above, PikPak will combine various user information to determine the user’s country or region, but in some special situations, such as long-term use of VPN, or your account is bound to a non-local phone number, there may be errors in PikPak’s judgment. If you encounter any of the following problems during use, it means that you have encountered this misjudgment situation:
1. Your location should be a Regional Premium, but there is a prompt to upgrade to a Global Premium.
2. The premium class prompt and price are incorrect when purchasing premium.
3. Your location should be available for Regional Premium, but you cannot redeem the regional premium redemption code and prompt that this redemption code cannot be used in the current region.
In this situation, you can correct it by binding the phone number of your current country or region. You can perform this operation in Account & Security - Bind Phone . If you do not want to bind a local phone number, or if the problem still exists after binding, please send an email to [email protected] And explain the situation, and we will help you solve the problem.

Q: Why is there a transfer quota?

PikPak has always been committed to optimizing the user experience. According to data statistics and analysis, we have found that there are always some cases of users abusing the service, causing obvious negative impacts on the overall user experience. These accounts that abuse the service use some practices that violate the user agreement, occupying a huge amount of traffic resources (tens to hundreds of times the normal usage traffic), and some people obtain improper benefits from it. This seriously affects the normal user experience and may cause problems such as slower download speeds, stuttering playback, and even unstable services.
We realize that in order to optimize the experience, we must manage these accounts that abuse the service. It is not easy to completely identify and block them because they will create many accounts and constantly adjust their strategies to disguise themselves. In the past, we restricted them by setting some account operation thresholds, such as the number of uploaded files or the maximum number of IPs for online playback, but it would always affect some normal users. Now we optimize this and adopt a more effective transfer quota method to constrain abusive users.
The transfer quota mainly includes cloud download traffic, downstream traffic, and upload traffic, and is calculated according to the consumption per natural month. Starting from September 2023, all PikPak users, whether free or paid members, will have basic transfer quota.
According to our data analysis, the basic transfer quota will not impose restrictions on normal individual users. Only in very extreme usage situations will it reach the limit. At this time, you can purchase extra storage quota. We believe that only by increasing the cost of abuse can we better curb service abuse.
In addition, when the service capacity is relatively sufficient, we may increase the basic transfer quota for some users, so your actual basic transfer quota may be higher than the above value.
With a transfer quota, we can relax other restrictions to avoid affecting normal use while further improving service quality and user experience.

Q: Do premium accounts have limits on transfer quota?

Yes. It is mentioned in the Membership Agreement - PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS that transfer quotas apply to all PikPak users, whether they are free users or paid members. According to our data analysis, the basic transfer quota will not impose restrictions on regular individual users.

Q: What are the specific values and meanings of the transfer quota?

The transfer quota primarily includes the following three aspects of data limits:
1. Cloud Download Traffic - The total data traffic of all successfully stored files using the cloud download feature within the current month.
2.Downstream Traffic - The actual data traffic transferred when using online playback, viewing, or download functions within the current month.
3. Upload Traffic - The total data traffic of all files uploaded within the current month.
Your PikPak account already includes the following basic transfer quotas:
  • Cloud Download Traffic - 40 TB / month
  • Downstream Traffic - 4 TB / month (including online playback, viewing, and download traffic)
  • Upload Traffic - 1 TB / month
Note:
1. Due to data compression techniques to save traffic, the upload traffic of files may be smaller than their actual sizes.
2. When service capacity is sufficient, we might increase the basic transfer quota for some users, so your actual basic transfer quota might be higher than the values mentioned above.

Q: How are the details of the transfer quota calculated?

The calculation rules for the transfer quota are as follows:
1. The calculation period for the basic transfer quota is a calendar month, and the quota value is cleared to zero at the end of each month and does not accumulate. The next month enjoys a new month’s basic transfer quota.
2. The validity period of the additional transfer quota is usually 1 year from the date of purchase, and the quota value will be cleared if it exceeds this validity period.
3. In each calendar month cycle, the basic transfer quota is utillsed first. When the basic transfer quota is exhausted, if there is still available additional transfer quota, the additional transfer quota will be consumed.
Note: Additional transfer quotas usually need to be obtained by purchasing.

Q: Where can I see the specifics of my transfer quota details?

You can check at any time through the Transfer Quota Details page.

Q: What should I do if I receive a notification that the transfer quota has been exceeded while in use?

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Below are some options:
1. The transfer quota is calculated based on each natural month, so you can wait until the first day of the next month to continue using PikPak. At that time, you will have a new month's transfer quota.
2. If you don't want to wait, you can purchase additional transfer quota.

Q: I have been using PikPak normally all along, why am I receiving the 'Exceeded Transfer Quota' notification?

You can investigate the cause using the following steps:
1. Please first check if your account has been compromised. If there are any suspicions, we recommend changing your account password as soon as possible.
2. Confirm whether your account has been shared with others. We strongly advise against sharing or trading accounts, as this may not only result in restricted transfers but also violate the user agreement, potentially leading to account suspension.
3. Verify if you are using PikPak through unofficial third-party applications or websites. These applications or websites are not controlled by PikPak, and there might be abuse of traffic. We recommend using official PikPak products at all times.
4. If you are certain that none of the above situations apply, please submit User Feedback detailing your situation. We will do our best to investigate on your behalf.

Q: Can I purchase premium for PikPak outside of the official PikPak app or website

In order to provide users with more flexible and diverse premium purchase options, PikPak has launched the Gift Card Serivce. Anyone can buy premium codes in bulk from the Gift Card Service Center. Therefore, if you see local merchants selling PikPak premium codes, it should be reliable.
We also have some direct partners who distribute premium codes. You can purchase redemption codes Here.
In any case, when purchasing a premium membership outside of the official PikPak app or website, please be cautious in verifying whether it is an illegal sale of premium membership. The simplest way to do this is to check if premium membership is provided through a redemption code.
Please note that purchasing premium codes is the only legitimate method supported by PikPak for external premium membership sales; all other methods are illegal. Buying illegally sold premium memberships can result in serious consequences, including premium membership revocation, and even account or device suspension.
