Cheapest set-it-and-forget-it storage

What is the cheapest set-it-and-forget-it storage for photographs that I will rarely need to access? Need about 250 GB of space. With a provider that's been around and won't need to think if they'll disappear in the next ten years.

Please quote pricing.

    I believe in good luck. Harder that I work ,luckier i get.

    @host_c obviously, has been solid so far.

    I still dislike the routing, he drops everything off in Frankfurt, with only a few exceptions.
    Prices increases are a concern though, already 100% on some special packages.
    However from the availability and support its good.

  • Google drive or AWS bucket? That's the best reliable storage I know of...

    If you want information, feign ignorance reply with the wrong answer. Internet people will correct you ASAP!
    It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!

    Yeah Amazon glacier was my first thought too

    Pricey though if you ever need to access it

  • Hetzner storage box maybe; overkill in terms of space, but cheap and admin-free

    With the way the market is, that's very variable right now. I know I didn't think costs would increase by 500% for me, then they did.

    Probably some megacorp for 250GB - Amazon, Google, Cloudflare, Backblaze
    Honorable mentions: Digital Ocean, Hetzner, OVH, AliCloud

    I personally think any host that has a large segment of the low end market will end up in a very hard spot in the coming year or two unless something drastically changes in the market. Host_c is probably one of the only hosts on this forum I think is prepared to weather the storm - albeit from already owning hardware and cannibalizing servers for what's needed to cover failures. I was going to do that but I only owned 4 nodes.

    Solid uptime and decent network

    If I were you I'd go with the Koofr lifetime plan while it's still around. Company is quite stable and has been around for ages.

    Although I just realized this may not quite be "set it and forget it" as the lifetime plans will at some point clear the data if you never log in.

  • How does Backblaze compare to AWS and/or iDrive?

  • +1 for koofr, i use it exactly for this, Rock solid.

  • I happily use Host-C, Koofr, and Backblaze for different long-term storage things and all have worked well!

    Feel free to tag me next time, I have nothing against it :3

    @Neoon

    THX on the honest words, and I really mean it <3
    As a small note if I may:

    We don't drop everything in Frankfurt, we dump everything in Frankfurt. =) =) Felt the need to adjust the semantics there.
