It seems we need more storage offers on this year's Black Friday.
Servarica for nearly two years already.
A full-featured storage VPS, which you control is incomparable with any "passive" storage, let alone some "cloud drive" with proprietary app and protocol.
Check this deal: 2 cores // 2 GB RAM // 2 TB RAID-Z 2 (ref - fully deserved) with unlimited bandwidth @ 250 Mbit/s (daily increase) or with 12 TB @ 1 Gbit/s (noref).
Two times more disk space for less even if you pay monthly.
Easily beats even more generous providers like Mega.
Nope.
By terms and conditions, it is illegal in the first place because whatever is allotted, it's against an organisation and not for someone's personal use.
But as long as the non profit organisation doesn't report your account or disable it, Google won't take any actions.
The people in the organisation are being generous that they are allowing it, but you are abusing it none the less.
What other stuff? Does that include mail+VPN? If so, can you please link it?
Against the ToS does not make something illegal.....
Generous indeed but otherwise, it was offered, I'll use it until they say I can't
Next step is getting the couple pieces I need for my LTO library and start using it for backups.
Yes— only 3 servers for VPN (not sure), on mail you can host your domain, smtp-only (imap over bridge) etc
If anyone wants a invite code for Proton Wallet (Bitcoin), I have 5 invitations to give for free. :-)
As in 3 countries? That is terrible
Yep, VPN, mail, password manager, calendar. They also have Proton Docs (basically like Google Docs but not as many features yet; synced notes/document writer that you can update and automatically saves itself in Proton Drive).
The newest thing is Proton Wallet for bitcoin, but I don't use it.

@Arkas
Maybe on Proton Business, but as an Unlimited user, I can access hundreds of servers across over 100 countries.
They also have stuff for circumventing censorship (Smart Routing), severs optimized for streaming, optimized for torrenting, for privacy, whatever. Also different VPN protocols, like IKEv2, WireGuard, etc.
I don't personally think about those settings too much, but it's nice to know that they're thinking of users who do.
If you pay more you can have all unlocked. 😀
Yes— it also depending on what you choose as main, we are focused on Mail services.
You wouldn't happen to be in Europe? What are the speeds like?
So my understanding is that Proton Business VPN access is similar to Proton Free?
Fair enough. I find that Unlimited is a nice balance between all the services, but that's just my use case.
🤣🥲 yes— if you goes with Mail

I think I have the cheapest storage here
Google drive 2TB plan (15$/year)
Mega 400GB (8$/year)
Edit:
I also have idrive e2 1TB (20$/year - old pricing)
$10 pm 😅 @loay
This is monthly or yearly? icloud cheapest country is almost 50$ yearly for the 2TB plan.
Per month
PGP !
Would never trust just one service. Any can go bad business wise or suspend you without reason. Personally I use several services for redundancy but PGP encrypt anything confidential or subject to data protection laws, so privacy ceases to be an issue, and the encryption isn't service specific.
I use personal VPS locations primarily but also use Storj and even 1fichier free tier as a backstop. Used to use megaupload back in their bad old days
Yes, Apple doesn’t change their prices like Google does. They have almost same pricing for all countries
I had not gigabytes, not terabytes but petabytes stored in google drive and it was fine for a long time (years)
Apples target audience is personal usage, as i never saw ads for b2b?
The matter isn't about the size but exploiting the licensing term.
I had their enterprise/business plan with unlimited data, which was canceled a while ago for everyone who had this plan.
They have this, but I was talking about Google personal offers. It's here priced at 15$/year for the 2TB plan.
I pay 0.60 euro cent per month, its like 0.65 USD for 1TB OneDrive with Office 365.
It's 2.5$ per month for 1TB and 3$ per month for 6TB family plan here.
Just encrypt everything yourself and use whatever service you trust the most. Many different encryption approaches, endless providers out there. Redundancy is critical though, so have more than one service/backup. If you don't want to jump through the hoops of encrypting everything yourself, then services like Proton, Tresorit, Filen, and many others can be good options to add to your services. Do your homework on how they each deal with privacy, encryption, keys, open source, etc., issues, and see what fits you the most. What works best for you may be different than what works best for me. Good luck!
