Amazon Storage UNLIMITED - 70€/y

So Amazon started offering "UNLIMITED" cloud storage for 70€/y. So far there is no FUP so you really can go for lots of TB.

Your opinion? Will storage summer hosts open now?

    This is not news. What is new to me is that it is now available outside of US.

    But it was $5/month or $60/year https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/48012/amazon-cloud-drive-launches-unlimited-cloud-storage-5-per-month/p1
    and now 70 EUR ($78)? They are jacking up prices already, next thing you know they will introduce some limits to "unlimited".

    This is old news. I have unlimited google drive storage for 8€/m and they have no problem with me hosting 10TB+ data on there.

    When I tried amazon cloud drive, it was painfully slow. With Google Drive I can pretty much max out my 100mbps internet connection.

    Can google drive be used to backup cpanel server? I mean should I pay when I download/restore backups from there?

    Is the amazon drive still limited to 4 connections / account?
    Also I wonder if it appearing "outside" the US means there are now servers for it outside the US.

    no cpanel data is unique and special and not like any other data on earth and therefor cannot be stored in any of the places you've asked about

    cant believe you run a hosting biz, good grief

    Backs up all your computers...

    ...well, as long as all your computers run Windows or OSX.

    Yeah, that's right.
    Managed to get myself a plan on the US site, but now you could officially get one directly connected to your EU account.
    The difference in price might be due to VAT beeing included.

    8€/m is the Google Apps Unlimited price per User. He most likely shares this subscription with 4 others to get the unlimited storage. Downside is the guy who pays Google and collects from the rest gets to see and edit all the files.

    $59,99 = 53,67€ * 1,18 = 63,06€
    $59,99 = 53,67€ * 1,27 = 68,16€

    +1, that deal was great.

  • cochoncochon Member

    Can't find the deal on Amazon's UK site (maybe we're not popular after brexit).

    Not speaking German what does the DE site say about limitations, the equivalent of the US 'There may be limits on the types of content you can store and share using the Service, such as file types we don't support'

    Same restrictions.

    Thanks, I've been using hubic for the past year or so for archiving and backups. In the past couple of months hubic has become horribly unreliable for uploading files around or over 1GB, but I'm still wary about using Amazon as an alternative with these arbitrary restrictions hanging over the data

  • cochon said: Can't find the deal on Amazon's UK site (maybe we're not popular after brexit).

    I know Amazon US have done this for at least a year or two, Germany obviously just got the same. I believe they were planning to expand to the UK as I asked a couple of months ago but who knows after that political fireball.

  • any information that this storage can handle streaming?

    It can handle it. If mounted over acd_cli maybe 4 parallel streams before it gets too slow.

  • Amazon.com (not .de) offer the same thing at $59.99 lol...
