If you have data that you're unlikely to need to access (i.e. backups), not many providers can compete with Deep Archive storage pricing.
4TB on S3 Deep Archive: $3.96/mo to store, $360 to restore and download over the internet
4TB on B2: $20/mo to store, $40 to download
4TB on Digital Ocean: $80/mo to store, $30 to download
Yes, it feels almost extortionary to have to pay that much to get your data out of AWS. But depending how long you store data for, it can end up being the cheaper option: you're just gambling on how likely you are to actually need to download it.
