I personally solve it by abusing Google cloud storage. If you have a domain name you can get their enterprise account for $20 a month with unlimited storage. I have close to 100TB of stuff on there. Rclone crypt makes sure they have no clue what it is. Rclone mount shows it as a mounted drive.

I thought they did away with unlimited? Is that not the case? I have a google domain but stopped paying two years ago for other reasons, and recently when I looked into getting workspace again it sounded like you can’t get unlimited storage for $20 anymore?

  Grandfathered in maybe?
  - vonseel 4y ago
    Possibly, but for some reason I had the impression they were doing away with grandfathered plans too. Because my old google apps (free) account was force upgraded to workspaces maybe. I think I had read you can request additional storage when you exceed the standard limit now. Maybe that’s what he means by unlimited and if you already had the data in googled cloud, well you don’t have to request from anyone (yet).

      They changed course on that and you were able to opt-out of the upgrade and continue using the free version. You had to do something by a certain date which has since passed so it's not much help now.

    I think you're right. After doing some sleuthing, I found this: G Suite Business is not available for new sign ups. If you have G Suite Business, your subscription and all related services will continue to function as they do today, until it’s time to transition to a new offering. We’ll be in touch over the coming months to identify your transition path. This was a $12/month unlimited storage plan. https://support.google.com/a/answer/6034782?hl=en https://support.google.com/a/answer/6034782?hl=en

      Yeah! I had it on a personal domain for $12 for a year or two, then I went and joined the Army on a whim and cut all my subscriptions, but now I'm in a place where I want cloud storage again and can't find any good options. I think it's possible you can get "unlimited" storage by signing up for one of their enterprise plans, but nowadays they make you request additional storage when you run out. I'm sure they don't throw a fit over 5-10TB, but I can imagine flags being raised when users on 1 user plans start requesting storage and they already have 100TB assigned.

Can you post a link regarding the unlimited storage? I have a google registered domain and would love some extra storage.

Can’t rely on that long term.

I personally solved the creation of an online encyclopedia by copying Encyclopedia Britannica to my... shit, it's gone. Oh well. C'mon, LARP a policy discussion: what are the chess moves toward public policy to keeparchives like sci-hub from being so easily burninated? Any policy discussion will do. I'll go rewrite the relevant Acts of Congress in Rust if I have to.
