Hi @raymundo

No, the transfer between your Droplet and Block Storage is free of charge.

    Yes, if you have a $5 droplet, you get 1TB internet-transfer with that. Anything that happens on the local network (Block Storage and "Private Networking") is free of charge.
    So it's actually the Droplet that reads the data (from Block Storage) and serves it to the visitor. That's why transfers only apply to the Droplet.
