Hi! I’m looking for a good cloud storage provider for my backups. I will encrypt them locally and rclone them, so integration is important. I’ve been looking through reddit, and every single provider has something behind their ears (closes accounts, scans files, sketchy, blah blah blah), so I’m having a bit of an analysis paralysis.

Free tier would be ideal. I don’t need a lot of space, just a few GBs. Thanks :)

I use onedrive because you can get like 6TB of space included with Office for like $99/year. Second choice would be backblaze.

Out of curiosity, as someone thinking about starting a cloud/hosting provider, what features would make a huge difference to you beyond price? I do plan to have some pretty amazing pricing for individuals/small businesses, but beyond that….

Full rclone/kopia/restic/borg/etc compatibility, down to 2FA (thing that Mega lacks on unfortunately), encryption, someone could probably use versioning. As long as it’s private and easy to use and understand :)

Check out storj. It is S3 compatible. If you upload from cli it encrypts localy and if you upload from web then it encrypts server side(you can still encrypt locally) data is stored in chunks so no one place has all you data. Old free tier was 50gb now its 25. You are paying for what you use. I use it at work for backing up time series database. I really like the ide and consept behind it.

As I remember storj is decentralized, right?

What about cost, like for 500gb, 1tb?

Thank you

Yes its decentralized. 4USD for TB /month and download 7USD/TB.

That’s about $2/TB cheaper than Backblaze B2. Nice.

Looks like they make it up on egress costs, which aren’t even bad at all for my use-case (4TB total currently).

Thanks!

For those wondering, it’s www.storj.io

Now I can’t choose When I started using b2 it was a really good option But now I’m reading and can’t decide between storj and hetzner with their $4 for tb with free traffic

Hetzner Storage Box and rsync.net are the best because can work like a normal storage, super simple. Hetzner is cheaper while rsync.net have better managment (no-javascript panel, normal 22 port, normal installation of ssh keys).

I’ve been using Hetzner with borg for a while now and it’s been super solid, can’t be beaten price wise either as far as I’ve looked
