expand a high-performance vds with little hard disk storage with online storage

i have a high performance vds but the nvme storage is limited to 50gb (with the provider an upgrade from 50gb to 100gb would cost 2,50€ more per month). now my question is how i can solve this problem in another way. windows server will run fine on the 50gb, but i need more storage that i can use from this vds.
what solutions are there? (so far i have a hetzner storage-box, 1 tb for 3,81€/month in mind). is it possible to integrate this storage-box for example in the aforementioned windows as a drive permanently, is that reasonably fast?)

Check RaiDrive app and test the effectiveness
one can map a local folder for storage box
rclone
https://rclone.org/sftp/#hetzner-storage-box
I use RClone with, you can use every storage you would like with that it with winfsp you can map an extra drive
just get a storage VPS from a host nearby and use rclone mount
the latency to the storage VPS has to be low otherwise you're going to spend on the TCP transmission window
vds frankfurt - hetzner storage-box nürnberg not a good idea?
Perfect i do the same !
that would work very well
I Use RClone in combination with RClone Browser, dont forget to install WinFSP you need it to mount the Drive.
you dont, just use rclone mount over sftp. hetzner’s storageboxes natively support it
EDIT: i didnt read OP uses Windows nevermind
And use port 23 its faster then 22
can i mount the hetzner storage-box in several windows servers so that, let's say, 3 windows servers have access to the 1TB? is that possible with rclone + winfsp?
yeah
do the pros here know how the hetzner storage box is connected to the network? i can't find anything about this on the hetzner website. can the hetzner storage box be encrypted?
its just a unix interactive terminal. connect over sftp like you would any other vps
I also had a Hetzner storage box, but when I reset Linux, it connected again and the data disappeared.
why was the data deleted after the reboot?
did you take a snapshot? you should have taken a snapshot before RESETTING
unfortunately, I didn't just send the server to reboot and then I reattached the storage box and the data disappeared, about 700 GB.
Actually this doesn't work simultaneously, I already tried that you can create users but they get a different directory then so you cannot access the same files
You will use RClone to encrypt first you mount a remote and then you mount another remote named crypt this wil encrypt Al your files.
I also have 5TB workspace GDrive and with this it does work simultaneously.
you did something wrong. not sure why you created multiple users to access the same directory. if you want to separate the files just have /homedir/folder[1-3] and change the mount point to the folder you wish to provide access to
Yes but it's not possible simultaneously, it's also stated somewhere in the Hetzner storagebox docs.
you get 10 concurrent connections and ive hooked them up to at least half that many clients at once per box per user
O I tried it in the past it didn't work, but maybe they changed the rules with the concurrent connections.
I tried mounting the disk on 2 servers simultaneously it didn't work back then.
I used gdrive before with rclone and had there some petabytes of storage after they shutdown my account i moved to hetzner for a lower amount of storage and i used also rclone to mount. Worked pretty good but i used linux
I think ive read about this before. You tried to create a 2nd user for the 2nd server to mount it there?
Yes, but it creates a different directory so you cannot access the files from the other users
which of the three windows servers should i get rid of and run linux instead?
You can also run it on Windows, if you like that more
