Dropbox is $10/TB/mo, which is the "old" industry standard (and still what most big guys charge). Backblaze is $5, but they charge egress fees, so usage matters. Dropbox doesn't charge for egress, but there are limits on "Public" folder bandwidth (and you can't pay for more if you max out). I don't think there are limits on private content, but I bet there's a soft throttle or some limit that will get you contacted.
There aren't a lot of options for <$5/TB and they all charge egress. I've tried Backblaze, pCloud, and DO Spaces. My specific use case is storing full HD movies for streaming via Plex, which requires a fairly reliable 6Gbit/second, and most of them can't keep up. DO Spaces did the best of all the ones I tried, so I'm using that for now, but it's just skating the edge of usability.
Although it's certainly a typo, ~6 Mbits a second isn't enough for more than poor quality 1080p video, roughly equivalent to streaming from Netflix or Hulu. If you were streaming a backup of a UHD Bluray, for example, the bitrate could be over 100 Mbps.
Indeed. HD streaming seems to need about 5.4Mbps reliably. Spaces is working well enough, but sometimes I have to pause for ten minutes to buffer enough for the rest of the film. It usually works, but with variable bitrate it must spike at times.
Did you try GSuite Business account with 5 accounts? Google offers unlimited cloud storage if you get more than 5 accounts (5*12 = 60 USD/month and no egress)
I've read this as well, so I didn't try. I also don't want to spend that much. I have 120 movies in Spaces and it only costs me about $8/mo. My egress is under the free tier so far, and overages amount to about four cents per movie stream.
