My setup is the following:
1. Multiple laptos get rsync'd to a WD MyBookLive network drive every 4 hrs (Yes, I know about the recent WD issue - see note at the end)
2. The WD MyBookLive data gets rclone'd to Microsoft OneDrive Business Basic Account every day (used to be Amazon CloudDrive - see note)
3. The WD MyBookLive data gets rclone'd to BackBlaze B2 every week
Notes:
1. Yes, there was a huge security mess with the WD MyBookLive, where people had all their data deleted if they enabled UPNP and allowed the drive to punch a hole in their NAT. But never expose any such "IoT" devices directly on the WAN - always block all these devices on the router WAN interface completely and ssh mount your network drives on a "home server." Have cron jobs on the server do the sync with cloud drives. MyBookLive is much less expensive and if you keep it off the WAN can work very well as a NAS.
2(a). Amazon CloudDrive used to be a good service to use, even after they got rid of their "unlimited" plans at $5/mo/1TB. But then they blocked off rclone and now there are close to zero clients that it works with - the only clients that work are their slow web interface and an "odrive" client that almost never syncs.
2(b). Microsoft OneDrive offers a nice "Business Basic" plan for $5/mo/1TB that seems pretty good.
3. BB2 storage is $0.005/GB-month - slightly more expensive than Amazon Glacier at $0.004/GB-month, but its download cost at $0.01/GB is better than Glacier's at $0.09/GB
