This is europe, maybe from america it gets a bit slow though.

I tried using this for a media streaming project, but I couldn’t get good enough bandwidth to stream high-bitrate media. I ended up paying more to stream files from a storage provider that caches on CDNs.

I do recommend it for other storage though: snapshots, SMB means you can mount it directly on Windows (and iOS!), cheap, and I personally like Hetzner.

Their Storage Share service (running on Nextcloud) is also good if you want managed syncing, a-la Dropbox. Same server as a Storage Box but with managed Nextcloud on top.

And a bit funky with legal things.

Can you expand on that?

There are laws and legal agreements in place that prevents certain sensitive data being stored in different legal jurisdictions.

Any gov or military contract data usually has specific requirements stating data storage requirements.

if you shoping in HN comment about where to backup your USA-GOV contracts, you might need to review your priorities

Some people here might have side gigs with private data, often without even knowing.

There are other data laws in other countries that are not USA gov that explicitly talk about customers data storage and it's handling.
