I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn’t too big (about 2-3TB) that I’d like to store on the cloud since I’ll be moving in the future and don’t think I can handle multiple hard drives.
What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers?
Just FYI, koofr has a lifetime deal with 1tb costing $120. At about $4 a month for storj, you’re looking at a cost savings in just under 3 years. So if you intend to keep the storage, and assume koofr will still be there in 3 years, that’s another good way to go.

Storj seems hard to beat regarding price.

Thanks for mentioning them, do they seem to be as reliable?
Never had a problem. According to their site, reliability seems great.
