FYI, after one year the price jumps to $500 dollars a year, for 5TB[0]. Comparatively, you can get a single user, 1TB storage Google Apps account, for $10[1] a month, and mount it with Expandrive for a one time license cost of $50[2]. This comes in at a yearly cost of $120, with a first year cost of $170. Obviously, there is a 4TB discrepancy, but as an owner of this setup, I actually have 10TB of space available to me, which I suspect is just Google being nice. Outside of reputable services, I'm fairly paranoid of the "put all your data with us for free for a year" and possibly run into serious price gouges in the future, leveraging slow internet speeds and long download times against unwitting users. I'm not by any means saying all companies are like this, but I'm very afraid of the power companies can have over my files[3]. [0] https://www.bigstash.co/pricing/ https://www.bigstash.co/pricing/.
