Hey, at least all of us peeps in the US can upgrade our >$100 capped plans to unlimited for the low-low price of $30-50/month (i.e. what some of our friends overseas pay for their whole-ass unlimited crazyfast internet plan).
I mean… do the math and you can figure out by yourself that it’s a fair price but in no way some sort of very convebient situation for the users. A 20tb hard drive goes for about 450€ and then you can consider the advantages that they have buying hdd at scale.
I’d have to double check but I believe that only works on windows and I know for sure you can’t use it for network shares. I have it on my windows desktop but wasn’t able to backup my media server with it.

Backblaze. $10 a month for infinite storage
Your ISP with a 1.2TB data cap: “lol.”
ISPs with a data cap? Lmao, nope.
An US thingy.
At a lot of places that’s not a question of choice.

+1 , cheap and easy first backup solution.
Have you read upon the actual recovery experience with cloud backup personal?
It is very impractical to do a recovery from this service.
How so? You can download it all or download specific files or folders
So this is just from the top of my head, there are several reddit threads about this.
You can only bulk download in 5gb (maybe 50gb) chunks. With limited speed and unreliable connections (aborted downloads etc)
Have you ever tried downloading a big size of your data? Never used it myself.
Oh i haven’t heard of that. I haven’t downloaded huge chunks no. I think you can connect with clients that allow pausing and continuing can’t you?
You can also have a usb/harddrive shipped to you with your data to transfer everything quicker and its free if you ship the usb/harddrive back
Nothing i am aware of, but as i said I never tried it myself. Let me know if you find something out.
Wait what!? I can backup my entire 36tb library for $10/month!?
Aaand if they allow downloading select files, it’s most probably not encrypted either.
Yeah

Doesn’t work for network shares as far as I can tell. At least not without some funky magic
