I’m looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online
Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it

Since you didn’t mention your requirements, I’ll assume data integrity isn’t super important. In that case, allow me to introduce you to /dev/null as a service. It’s free and has unlimited capacity.
Now we just need to invent a way to read the Void of Nothingness to retrieve the data and bam! Infinite storage.
That’s easy, just read from /dev/urandom. The access speed is super slow, but eventually you’ll find your data
Idk man, I think it might have some reliability issues… I tried restoring my data and all I got back was a badly-typed copy of the complete works of Shakespeare.
Depends what you want to do but Backblaze B2 is reasonably cheap. $6 per TB
Yandex disk. They accept credit cards.
Check out Hetzner Storage Box. I’ve got 20TB for my Jellyfin library and it’s $50/mo.
Edit: use rclone to mount it as a network drive on your desktop.
Edit 2: Just checked and it’s $40/month
I’m kind of curious why you don’t just buy a HDD or two. At $600 a year you’d break even really quickly.
It’s a good question. If I had something like gigabit internet with high upload speeds I probably would (and eventually will). Right now though, I use Jellyfin from wherever I am, and I share it with a few friends and family too.
That makes sense! Thanks for sharing
Depends for how long. Buying a used NAS with a single 1TB drive is probably cheaper over a 10 year period than subscribing to some cloud service for the same duration.
You mean three drives? You need data integrity, what if a drive fails? What if you have a raid 1 but when readding a new drive you have read errors? Parity is good.
Good point. Perhaps at least a 2 drive NAS then. 👍
Hetzner storage box is 3.81€/month for 1TB.
Over the course of a year you basically bought an HDD (but excluding backups/power)
Off site storage is off site for a reason, though.
