And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

I don't know Google Drive options are pretty fucking cheap.

not if you have more than 2tb of data because you're a videographer or an audio engineer

Sorry but you are using the wrong cloud storage provider.

I've switched to pCloud on black Friday. It was a one time payment for 2TB lifetime (10TB is also available) cloud storage. I checked and it was ~250€ at the time.

Considering the amount of HDD I've burned through in the early years I've already saved a couple thousand dollars and I haven't lost any file since.

Just make sure to watch their price as they currently have a sale and I don't believe for 1 second that the initial price was in fact 1140€ for 2TB as advertised.
