I pay for 500 gb on Filen, €3.99 a month, which feels like a fair deal.

Around 30TB shares between various providers. Hetzner for servers, Ionos for S3 compatible block storage, Tuxis for PBS, atm still some old backups at Synology and Backblaze,but getting rid of that.
Total cost should be around 120€/month.
Idk, my home server has a 1tb SSD. Does that count?
60TB of my own hosted cloud.
2TB Google
2TB Microsoft
2TB Apple
Unlimited IDrive for mobile photos/videos backup.
Zero
48TB on my own hardware
275TB on my own hardware at home & family members house
3.5TB on a ServaRica Storage VPS
480GB on a OVH dedicated server
Zero.
There is no cloud, just someone else’s computer.
Just use the cloudssssSSSss
None
- I don’t have anything important enough to pay for.
If all my HDDs and SSDs died tomorrow apart from the inconvenience of buying new ones it would probably be a blessing to get rid of junk files from 2006 that maybe I want to save for some reason.
108TB on my own hardware.
How much did you pay for that? He gets 0.5 TB for 48 $ per year, presumably including 24/7 availability, redundancy, etc. And not just included but without having to manage anything.
Not that guy, but I bought a bulk order of used hard drives on eBay for about $1/TB
Granted, a lot of those drives died on the way so it was more like $1.50/TB after I sifted through it. I’ve only had one more die in 3 years
Things I think about, which would be interesting to know, perhaps I missed something. Please share your experiences:
How many hours did it take you to set everything up? How much did you eventually spend for everything combined? What are the running costs? How much space does it gobble up? How loud is it? Backup/redundancy plan? Internet connection good enough (upload speed)?
How many hours did it take you to set everything up?
I have a synology NAS, so the basic setup for just cloud storage comes almost out of the box. 2 hours maybe (because I like to tinker, could be faster)
How much did you eventually spend for everything combined?
Around $6000 for me, but it’s quite the extravagant setup.
What are the running costs?
I didn’t have to replace anything so far, so it’s really just the electricity cost (But I don’t even know what my total eletricity bill is, so no idea how much the NAS added).
How much space does it gobble up?
270 mm x 300 mm x 340 mm for mine, so really quite compact. Currently sits at the edge of my desk.
How loud is it?
The fan isn’t louder than any other desktop PC but you get a lot of HDD noise. Doesn’t bother me since I use headphones most of the time, but even without them I could just put it in another room. But you probably don’t want to set it up in the bedroom.
Backup/redundancy plan?
I have 3-2-1 backup for my important data (only couple of TB), but no backup for the media library so far. But the raid6 setup with a hot spare should keep it reasonably safe from single disk faliures. I’m thinking about adding a UPS, but our energy grid is really stable and power outages are super rare, so it’s not a high priority.
Internet connection good enough (upload speed)?
Yeah, currently only 100mbit up, that’s quite limiting but enough for what I use it at the moment. I might be able to upgrade to 1gbps upload later this year, fingers crossed.

I pay for 2tb on iCloud, but that is mostly for my family, I sync my files with syncthing but I only have like 400gb available like that
I’ve got Idrive backups at 5TB for like $5 a month or something.
0b.
Dedicated, of course. Technically some of my private info is stored who knows where.
For important data, I have around 100 GB in an AWS bucket, all encrypted backups (moved away from Dropbox a few years back). It costs me about €5 or 6 per month. Thinking about moving them to a European provider, though not sure where to as yet. Less important data stay local on external disks.
I have probably four terabytes of cloud storage and I use probably four megabytes of it
