This looks interesting, especially since it supports encryption, which i consider mandatory.

I'm wondering what cloud provider² that works with rclone offers the most storage per dollar? Caveat: I only need 100GB.

² ideally in Europe

Depending on how much storage you need, and whether you need instant or delayed access to your files, there's a couple of ideas like

- Scaleway's new AWS S3 Glacier-like storage (75GB free, in Paris)

- OVH's regular object storage vs. "cloud archive" (multiple EU locations)

- Wasabi (S3 compatible, but prepays for 1TB) (in Amsterdam)

The "cold" storage options are obviously cheaper, but have bigger problems in my experience of playing nice with backup and sync solutions like rclone.

Google Gsuite Business Account. $10/month/user. Technically 1TB of gdrive if you have under 5 users, but I had 30TB when I only had 4. It's truely unlimited if you have 5 users.

b2 and Scaleway are quite cheap (Wasabi would have been cheaper but that's >= 1TB). Check this post put [1] - not mine.

I personally use b2 with restic.

Backblaze, chose the central Europe server located in NL. 100GB will probably be around 0.5 USD/mo. You read that right.

Thanks, i'll check them out.

For only 100GB, DigitalOcean Spaces has 250GB for $5 per month AFAIK. Includes some bandwidth also. It's S3-compatible and I can vouch that it does work with rclone as I use the two together several times per week.

It will depend on what you're using it for. I use Azure Archive storage for last resort backups. Will be reasonably expensive if I ever need to restore the data, but until then it's £0.00135 per GB per month.

I use rclone with backblaze b2, very happy with both.

most likely backblaze B2.

Edit: OVH ?
