I can't say it any better than the previous poster. Simply add that retrieval from Glacier is straightforward but annoying. You also need to be ok with day-plus turnaround for very large retrievals.

Re: Please Recommend Affordable and Reliable Cloud Storage for 50 TB of Data
Has anybody tried: https://rclone.org ? I still think something like this combined with 5 x G Suite Business accounts would be the best value for money. I.e. $50 pm for unlimited storage.

The main issue you are facing is that 50TB is a pretty huge amount of personal user data by today's standards, so any commercial offering is going to be expensive. If all you require is access to your data when you are out and about, and you do currently have always-on Internet at home, you could build a cheap server, attach your existing USB storage to it, and serve it with owncloud or something. Downsides: - USB storage kind of sucks - Now you are a sysadmin, congrats - Maybe your domestic Internet service provider isn't up to the task of serving a lot of data Upsides: - Access to your data from where you have Internet for a relatively modest one off purchase and some sysadmin work. - Your personal data can stay physically where it is, so no months-long upload session. Depending on what your actual use case is there are many other reasons why this may not be suitable. If I had 50TB of valuable personal data I'd also be worrying about how it's backed up.

The upload volume is currently capped at 750GB per day: https://support.google.com/a/answer/172541?hl=en So it would take you about 67 days to push to a single account and about 14 days if you split the data into 5 even chunks and push simultaneously to 5 accounts.

Uploading data to Glacier is free. Storage pricing is simple: it currently costs 0.4 cents per gigabyte per month, which is 82% cheaper than S3 Standard. In 2016, AWS revised their retrieval pricing model.[16] The new model bases the retrieval fee on the number of gigabytes retrieved. This can amount to a 99% price cut for users who perform only one glacier retrieval in a month. At the same time, AWS introduced new methods of retrieval that take different amounts of time. An expedited retrieval costs one cent per request and three cents per gigabyte, and can retrieve data in one to five minutes. A standard retrieval costs five cents per thousand requests and one cent per gigabyte, and takes three to five hours. A bulk retrieval costs 2.5 cents per thousand requests and 0.25 cents per gigabyte, and takes seven to twelve hours. AWS also introduced provisioned capacity for expedited retrievals, each unit of which costs $100 per month and guarantees at least three expedited retrievals every five minutes, and up to 150 MB/s of retrieval bandwidth. Without provisioned capacity, expedited retrievals are done on a capacity available basis. Happy storage.

I don't intend to access the data in the Cloud often. Just want to park it permanently in the Cloud. Maybe I can access the Cloud from anywhere in the world? > > 2.

USD$1300 per month is more than half or 50% of the monthly salary of a typical university graduate in Singapore. So I don't think I will be able to afford to pay USD$1300 per month just for cloud storage alone. > I don't know the whole picture of your use case, but I think it would be much > cheaper in a long run to self-host it on premises.

I don't think there are any kind of storage service available for that kind of storage demand and costs a few tenners. 50 TB is no joke and even basic calculation gives values around $1300 per month. I don't know the whole picture of your use case, but I think it would be much cheaper in a long run to self-host it on premises. Even with high availability solution. > 3. Cloud storage provider must not be a fly-by-night company, that is, > it will not suddenly close down the next day. Basically, you have to stick with one of major companies, like Google, Amazon, CloudFlare, Microsoft. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that your data will vanish one day with the company, but even then, once your data is uploaded into cloud it could become a hostage at any time in the future. > Please advise. > > Thank you. > -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄
