Hi everyone,

I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn't too big (about 2-3TB) that I'd like to store on the cloud since I'll be moving in the future and don't think I can handle multiple hard drives.

What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers?

Thanks!

Aren't you charged data egress fees/S3 standard storage fees when they are preparing your bulk retrieval?

Not sure, this wasn't clear to me from their pricing page. There were 4 stars next to that item but the explanation for that didn't elaborate on bulk retrieve.

I assumed there was some minimum number of operations, or it had to be the entire backup restored to count as bulk.

Without egress fees, glacier pricing is amazing. But I need to talk to someone who has actually restored from glacier to be able to consider it.
