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
@Neoon
THX on the honest words, and I really mean it
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.
