> what if I don't login to the AWS account for 9 years, and then when I need my files, I find out AWS kindly deleted/disabled my account and I didn't know about it? That situation is my biggest concern. Understandable concern, but AWS being targeted at enterprise gives me confidence they don't do any funny stuff like that. On and of course, they bill you monthly, so ideally you'd have a tell if something goes wrong. I also store my files locally on a USB drive in alternative locations, but I conceptually trust S3, but maybe actions speak louder.
