Data storage in the cloud
Data storage in the cloud
Hey! I see you're dealing with a tough storage situation. You need a more lasting fix for your 1 TB drive, and you're looking for options that are either free or very affordable. Let me know if you'd like suggestions on cloud services that fit your budget or offer reliable backup solutions.
Searching for the most affordable options, I see prices starting at $6 per month for roughly 1TB. Anything cheaper seems risky or non-existent.
It seems you're considering creating your own NAS or file server. While I don't strongly endorse this approach, you might explore options like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud. Their free tiers or trial periods could provide ample off-site storage until you're ready to set up a dedicated solution. Just remember you'll need a credit or debit card for payments.
You're looking at the pricing details carefully. The rate you mentioned is 0.45 USD per month for 100GB. It seems you're unsure whether you'll receive additional 100GB each month or if you pay a flat fee for the current amount. Also, you need to know if you can sign up without an account and what the sign-up cost is before deciding if it's worth it.
I reached out and it turned out I was mistaken for the account fee. I understand you charge based on usage, but I’m unsure whether existing cloud data requires an additional charge to stay there. I’ll follow up with them, but in the meantime, if you use Glacier and are aware, please let me know.
