Anyone here got any recommendations for paid cloud storage options? Given where we are I’m looking for piracy friendly options.

    How much, with what budget and for what use? Something as simple as a seedbox could suffice in some cases, otherwise maybe look at Hetzner’s storage options.

      Just need to hold about 4TB for a few months until I buy more hard drives. I didn’t think of a seed box though which could be an option.

        No matter what you choose, encrypt the data you store to avoid drama.

        You could take a look at wasabi. Keep in mind that I think they have minimum commit. So if you add 1tb of data, you are charged for storing it a minimum of a few months.

        Backblaze b2 and cloudflare r2 are also options.

        Google drive is also a decent storage platform at a reasonable price. 9.99/mo for 2tb. You can check the rclone matrix for features and alternatives.

        OneDrive family. It gives you 1 TB per account. You can add up to 5 members and they don’t give a fuck about pirated content. I’ve been using them for the last 2 years without any encryption and I’ve had no problems.

        No way to tell as it depends on all kinds of factors, like workload and IO requirements. For example you could spin up a very cheap spinning rust Ceph cluster for archival use cases or you could have a very fast NVMe/PMEM cluster for compute workloads.

        I am managing all kinds of installations.

        And before somebody ask no, not piracy related lmao.

            I could not even see your reply on the other account so no way to reply either. I only saw it by navigating to this instance.
