If you own your own domain, Google's GSuite for Business costs $10/month/user and offers unlimited storage. I'm fortunate to have fiber at home and upload to GDrive at around 90 megabytes/second.
Yes, it says you only get unlimited with 5 users (at $10/month apiece) but it works with only one.
I have just under 17 TB in mine-- I point Crashplan to a Google Drive mounted via FOSS rclone[1], saving $120/year for my old Crashplan family plan. And of course it's great for storing whatever you want, movies, pictures, etc.
One major disadvantage for iOS users is that you can't store your iOS backups on Google Drive. So I also pay Apple $1/month for the 50GB plan, simply because their base 5GB plan is insufficient to backup 2 iOS devices.

- dawnerd 9y agoIs ditch crashplan and install duplicati. I'm using it to backup to gdrive just fine.
- hendersoon 9y agoShrug, Crashplan is free backing up to (what it thinks is) a local volume, and it works fine.
- stevefeinstein 9y agoDo they have a Synology module to backup a NAS?
- dawnerd 9y agoDo they let you set your own encryption key? It's been a long time since I've tried their client. It was pretty slow for me.
- geostyx 9y agoDuplicati corrupts its database every time I've tried it.
- milankragujevic 9y agoThat's going away, because of rampant abuse of Google's services and their inability to shut down pirate movie sites that use redirectors and fetchers to steal links from Google's CDN.
- geostyx 9y agoSource?
- milankragujevic 9y agoWell given they're shutting down GSuite accounts which upload movies and their continued insistence on increasing difficulty for get_video_info methods to fetch video source, I give it 1-2 months before they stop offering unlimited storage with GSuite.
- geostyx 9y agoThe accounts recently deleted were sold on ebay against TOS.
- victorhooi 9y agoDo you have any sources for this? Or is this just speculation?
