Since you didn't mention your requirements, I'll assume data integrity isn't super important. In that case, allow me to introduce you to /dev/null as a service. It's free and has unlimited capacity.

Now we just need to invent a way to read the Void of Nothingness to retrieve the data and bam! Infinite storage.
That's easy, just read from /dev/urandom. The access speed is super slow, but eventually you'll find your data
Idk man, I think it might have some reliability issues... I tried restoring my data and all I got back was a badly-typed copy of the complete works of Shakespeare.
Try running: sed 's/blurst of times/worst of times/g'
Already exists, and it's offered by IKEA. Here is the kit you need: 0 1
The only problem is that I don't have the plans that shows how to assemble the parts.
I'd never expect to find an answer like this lol. Thankyou
Happy to help! Let me know if have any other technical questions :)
This is hilarious. I love it haha
On AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive 1TB will cost you $1/month. I use it as one of my off-site backup solutions.
Careful recommending glacier. It is shockingly, crazy expensive to retrieve data.

Check out Hetzner Storage Box. I've got 20TB for my Jellyfin library and it's $50/mo.
Edit: use rclone to mount it as a network drive on your desktop.
Edit 2: Just checked and it's $40/month
I'm kind of curious why you don't just buy a HDD or two. At $600 a year you'd break even really quickly.
It's a good question. If I had something like gigabit internet with high upload speeds I probably would (and eventually will). Right now though, I use Jellyfin from wherever I am, and I share it with a few friends and family too.
Are you hosting Jellyfin in the cloud as well?
Yes. Also on Hetzner.
That makes sense! Thanks for sharing
Depends what you want to do but Backblaze B2 is reasonably cheap. $6 per TB
Heck yeah, it's great. Wasabi is nice too, but keep in mind they bill differently for storage vs retrieval.
It's reasonably cheap and you pay only for what you use.
Yeah that's the best for me. I use about 600GB.
500GB plans aren't enough and 1TB plans are too much. Paying what you use is so good.
Another Backblaze user checking in π I use their B2 service for $6/TB/mo, however they have an unlimited storage option for Windows/Mac if you're interested in that
Backblaze.
9/month for unlimited storage.
I'm at 4tb stored.
Itβs hard (and against ToS) to access B2C Backblaze with any S3/Swift API, though. So it depends a bit on your use-case.
Depends for how long. Buying a used NAS with a single 1TB drive is probably cheaper over a 10 year period than subscribing to some cloud service for the same duration.
You mean three drives? You need data integrity, what if a drive fails? What if you have a raid 1 but when readding a new drive you have read errors? Parity is good.
Good point. Perhaps at least a 2 drive NAS then. π
Yandex disk. They accept credit cards.
Iβve been using Backblaze. Have no complaints
(preparing for inevitable downvotes) depending on how much storage you need and the flexibility you have in how you use it, Office365 includes 1TB of OneDrive storage for 6 users for somewhere around $100/yr. I use it for storing encrypted video files from my NVR and it works for my use case, but ymmv.
