Comment on Google Promises Unlimited Cloud Storage; Then Cancels Plan; Then Tells Journalist His Life’s Work Will Be Deleted Without Enough Time To Transfer The Data

Storing that much data on Wasabi would cost about $1,700/mo.

If it’s that important, rent a VPS, connect Rclone to Google Drive and Wasabi, and transfer.

Even 1 Gb/s would get it done in under 3 days and VPSes are usually faster than that.

I hope someone has already made this suggestion to him.

AWS S3 would be about $3.2k/month, or do Glacier for about $250. I doubt any individual alone is touching 250TB worth of files, so deep freeze seems like a good option. Then mirror into a different region for 2x the price and peace of mind.

  Retrieval times get tricky with Glacier though.
  
  I’d hate to be working on a story, especially with a deadline (if he has those), and be forced to wait on Glacier to retrieve a file.
  
  Hope it’s the one you need on the first try too…

    There’s various glacier tiers. Something like Glacier Flexible has retrieval times in minutes, while still having a per-GB cost that is 6x cheaper than regular S3.
