What's the cheapest online storage that you know of?

I’m looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online

Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it

I use either Discord or the unlisted feature of a random video/audio website depending on the circumstances.

How do you do that?

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

Most video websites have the option to make a video viewable only when someone has the link. The option is presented to you when you’re uploading it.

Hetzner’s Storage Box is quite cheap

Buyvm has 1TB for $5, but you need a GPS to connect to it, that is another $2. So $7 total for a small linux box with 1TB.

RalphWolf ,

A GPS? Why?

Mr_Blott ,

They hide it in a field

Catsrules ,

You use a global private server when you fat finger the G instead of a V

Yandex disk. They accept credit cards.

I’ve used Sync.com for awhile now with few issues. 1TB is about $6 a month, 2TB around $8 a month.

iDrive E2 is $40 a year for 1TB S3 compatible storage and they have promotions quite often. As always with cheap storage don’t rely on it and have a local NAS but it’s handy for offsite. I’ve just transferred out of Wasabi, who were cheap but are less so now.

railsdev ,

Like others are saying, it depends on your requirements.

I’m loving Storj as a cloud NAS. Basically I have a NAS with 8 TB of storage but if something goes wrong with that, I’m out of luck. What I did was copy everything to Storj then reconfigure the NAS to simply act as a local cache for it.

This is great because I can share my media with friends and family while using client-side encryption and it streams FAST rather than relying on my residential ISP with slow upload speeds.

Catsrules ,

How do you access your storage? Is there like a web front end? I thought Storj was more for backend storage?

railsdev ,

They have their own CLI tool (uplink) but it does have an S3 gateway.

Yeah it’s geared more for backend stuff but I use rclone to both sync it and to provide a WebDAV gateway (it supports others but they didn’t work great for my needs).

tailiat ,

(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.

Yet another B2 user here, I only backup things I can’t afford to lose so my monthly spend isn’t particularly high. I think the most I’ve ever paid for was around 1.5TB. One big draw for B2 is their upcoming egress policy change tomorrow: up to 3x the data stored with them is free to transfer out every day. Egress absolutely wrecks people’s storage budgets a lot of the time, restoration costs can be absurd when you need to recover data.

I’m using iDrive. Quite cheap and if you want an S3 interface you can check their enterprise e2 tier.

JackGreenEarth ,

Is that Apple storage? Isn’t that called iCloud?

acceptable_pumpkin ,

Different product. I use IDrive as well since it has a native Synology app.

percentSValue ,

They also have a super low-end tier of 500GB for 9.95 a year, less than a dollar a month, which is nice for a not so heavy user.

lemann ,

Another Backblaze user checking in 😁 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

shalafi ,

Maybe Google isn’t welcome around here, but I spend ~100/yr. for 2TB. $4.20/mo./TB.

I map my Windows libraries to my Google Drive and I’m done. Save it and it syncs. Plus, I use Android and Gmail, so everything fits nicely in the same ecosystem.

Awesome company that makes it eau to interface worth their storage outside of their proprietary tools, resulting in wide support built in to a bunch of backup software. Have no issue with you storing encrypted blobs. But - and this is most important - they don’t harvest your data and resell or reuse it (although, always encrypt, to be sure).

Fantastic company.

If you're into SCP/FTP/Rsync/SMB check out Hetzner Storage Servers. About 3 € for 1 TB, including 10 snapshots

Not sure about cheapest, but Wasabi is affordable considering no data transfer fees

I’ve been using Backblaze. Have no complaints
