Except for the fact that when Google, Amazon and the rest talk about "unlimited" they are referring to unlimited PERSONAL storage of data you create as a person, this would include backups of your personal computer, photos, important documents,etc Not backing up SoundCloud or the entire Internet for $5 a month

I would love to have my own personal backup of SoundCloud. It's like having a huge library at home, only not limited by physical space.

I didn't create my tax documents, I didn't create the professionally shot photos of my kid, and it's arguable whether it was truly I that created KSP game save files. I definitely didn't create a lot of the work documents that end up living there, either.

  Jesus H Christ.. People are too f'in litteral, first Unlimited === Store everything every created PERSONAL in the context of the discussion would include documents created by a person in general course of business, my point is very clearly and only pedantic trolls do not understand the meaning of point I was attempting to address. Business use would be for the business that signed up for the service, not for storing an entire copy of SoundCloud

    > Business use would be for the business that signed up for the service, not for storing an entire copy of SoundCloud What if that business is Soundcloud? As far as I can tell, Google places no limits on business users, numerical or otherwise.
