I was surprised to learn about amazon cloud drive which is "unlimited" - which probably means they'll randomly turn it off if you actually use it - free egress traffic makes it much cheaper than s3.
Worth nothing that rsync.net pricing includes transfer:
"No other costs. No contracts. All transfer/bandwidth/usage is free.".
Looking at https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-providers.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-providers.html - all services charge more than 3 cents/gb if you actually need to restore from backup.
Now, that doesn't mean rsync.net isn't expensive for many use-cases -- but not as bad as the up front cost difference appears.
