Yes, I consider it to be expensive. The bigger issue with these storage platforms is that they don’t offer a lower priced tier. Not everybody wants or needs 2TB of storage. If they were to offer a lower quota at a lower price, that would be more appropriate, especially for people whose main currency isn’t USD or EUR or GBP. But this won’t happen even with a yearly pricing (where transaction processing fees are a smaller fraction) because these companies aren’t interested in providing solutions for those who don’t want to spend a lot (and have lower requirements). They will come around after they find that their developed country and enterprise markets are saturated and want to expand further.
You can take a look at Backblaze B2 or Hetzner Storage services (there are two kinds in this) for cheaper and lower priced options. I don’t have experience with either of these to provide a strong recommendation either way.
