$5 for 250GB of storage and then $20 per TB ($0.02/GB) after that seems a bit steep.

  Plans and Pricing
  The base rate of a Spaces subscription is $5/month and gives you the ability to create multiple Spaces.
  The subscription includes 250 GiB of data storage (cumulative across all of your Spaces). Additional storage beyond this allotment is $0.02/GiB. If you cancel your subscription by destroying all your Spaces, your bill will be prorated hourly.

I think hetzner is about half an expensive (€8 tb/m) and I personally prefer ssh/rsync to http/S3.


I don't know what Hetzner is, but if rsync is available, it's a much better option, particularly if you can do incremental syncing you can get a fairly robust setup with very little code.

What offering is that? Their "storage" page quotes 26 euros for 5TB.


The BX30 in 7.90 before any country specific tax. But that is the 1tb price as the price per TB is discounted by volume (and you get more snapshots, etc.)


Okay I see now. If you switch VAT region to us and get the biggest size, it works out to 3.9 euro per TB per month.


With prices like that, Microsoft Office 365 subscription that gives you 1TB of OneDrive space, seems like a better deal.


I’ve been happy with Wasabi.


Interesting comparison price when something like Sia is so cheap per TB (4 dollars). Will be interesting to see how it developers.


I tried to use Sia once but I needed to download the entire blockchain. Not a fan of storing 5 GB locally so I can store 1 GB remotely...


It looks they also have S3 support now. Will need to try it out.

I think $20/TB*month is exactly what GCP charges, and is probably on par with what Amazon charges.


True. That's what makes Sia intriguing
