I was going to buy premium then I saw the price. It’s like 14 a month, 24 for family, per month. To add on top of that, every subscription service has been increasing prices so in a few years it’s probably going to be 20/30 dollars a month. Additionally, I already pay Google for 2 TB drive space for personal for 11 dollars a month and 13 dollars a month for a company workspace with one user. So why would I pay 24 more dollars to Google, and 30 dollars down the road?
Honestly, if Protonmail had better prices I’d likely switch but right now a more expensive service for fewer features isn’t what I am going for. It’s currently 30 dollars a month for only 3TB. I get 2 TB for just 11 dollars, family is free. Not to mention switching the whole family is a whole conversation and getting it to work on everyone’s device is a headache with any service. As much as I would want to degoogle, I use Android, I use Google Voice, and I likely am not going to switch those. It’s not really going to help me untie from Google and would just cause me headaches.
I use Hetzner’s Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper… like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.

I have no idea what this means, but I feel like it’s probably something I’d like in my back pocket to pull out and throw in someone’s face…kinda like pocket sand.

Why not just get the storage box and run the Nextcloud instance with the storage box mounted? Just curious.
You should be able to do that, you’d just need to set up and maintain the Nextcloud instance yourself :)
I could justify the AU$30 per month for myself and my housemate, but at AU$43, they can GAGTGF.

GAGYGF is Go And Get Your Guts F… GAGTGF substitutes “Your” for “Their”. “GagyGoof” does roll off the tongue a bit better than “GagTeeGoof”.
Nice, I definitely will be keeping that in my back pocket
I tried to take a stab at it, but I’m coming up empty.
