It is not true. What is free is moving data between storage classes within Scaleway. Egress out is €10 per TB - rather on expensive side:)
i made a small change, to indicate if the S3 provider supports SSE and session tokens.
as my backup script require those features.
imho, S3 needs a page on its own?
and not sure Achieved Larger By Union on Multiple Drives needs to be added to every entry.
as that applies most/all providers and has nothing specific to do with the actual provider details.
What happens if you need more free space and you have this yearly subscription? Easy to switch for a bigger package and pay from that they 1 year in upfront?
And you got to add a new bucket? Or your current will be extended?
I’ve mentioned before, in my many years of experience box.com takes the unlimited claim pretty seriously - I’ve used it with a 3 user business account as well as 300 user enterprise accounts.
Short breakdown:
business - 5gb file size limit (rclone chunk + crypt hint hint) - no free collaborators (aka can only share with links)
$15 / month / 3 users minimum
Business plus - $25 - 15 file gig size limit - unlimited external users
Enterprise - $35 - 50 gig size limit
Enterprise plus 150 gig single file limit
I currently have a business account and have zero issues
2 users with 20 tb each of various sizes
Obviously files that are crypted / chunked can’t really be shared via the built in methods as with any provider
In terms of API I find tpslimit 12 avoids any throttling

You have to pay for 3 users and split the costs (or not)
In terms of Price its cheaper than others but the only problem Opendrive is after 5TB the upload speed goes down. I am planning to build my own NAS server. Cloud storage have become expensive now.
There will be a day when Google Company will realize their mistake , they should not have CAPPED the storage. If you remember Adobe was earlier licensed based then they changed their Buisness Model to Cloud and become more expensive. So people cancelled their service with Adobe Cloud and moved to BMD Davinci where you have free editting software with free but certain effects availble under Pro and the Pro version the fees is one time only.
I don't think things will change myself, by definition of being unlimited, those suppliers will always attract the heavy users, which inturn are what break the system. If google couln't make it work, then I'd guess it's going to take some revolutionary thinking, which hasn't happened yet. Google had the advantage of being a "default choice" for a lot of smaller users, which would have balanced the books somewhat, but still they couldn't make it work. Don't even get me started on lifetime storage.
I'm please Box are carrying on with unlimted but I can't help wondering if there time is limited, as the folks that fave gone Google->DropBox etc. all get focused onto them, they break, and either hike prices, or stop unlimited.
With opendrive, their crippling starts near 10tb, which I have had confirmed by their support, who have also helped me get an rclone union work, to put files onto the least used drive. So that is back on my radar, for me after migration, the upload speed isn't so much of an issue, because I'm nearly always on slower connection myself.
Hi, but are you using your box account only for backups? or u use it too for plex for example with continuous calls to api?
I don't know if box api calls are enough for a personal plex server
thanks!
Let's say you are on 5TB plan and half year through you decide you need 10TB - then you just subscribe to 10TB and pay only difference for given billing period. You do not have to do it immediately when you reach 5TB but everything above your current plan is billed as pay as you go. Up to some level it is cheaper than buying more expensive plan - do your maths.
There are never limits on how much data you can store - it is only about how much it will cost you:)
You pay for amount of data stored - does not matter where. You can always have as many buckets as you want in as many locations as you want e.g. 10 buckets in London hosting centre, 2 in Singapore and 100 in Dallas.

don't know, its my first yearly subscription for 40$ whole year., 10 TB is enough for now, but probably if you switch, then you will have the bigger package for a year plus the current one until expiration, and no need to do anything with buckets.
I have also enquired them about some custom billing as e.g. having 120TB I do not want to pay for 200TB package - and surprise they are happy to customise things. Below reply from iDrive support re me asking for 150TB plan
Dear IDrive,
This message is in reference to ticket number: ID1234567890
Hi,
Please upgrade your account to 100TB. We will create a custom plan for you afterward and charge you the additional amount for the 150TB plan. Let us know once done.
Please check pricing here IDrive® e2 plans and pricing for cloud storage
Thanks for the detailed explanation, it really helps.
Coincidently iDrive e2 is rclone gold sponsor:) Good for them - good for rclone.
But my opinion has nothing to do with it. I have been looking for reasonably priced and easy to use cloud storage for some time. I have no trust at all in "unlimited" options and do not have petabytes of data. I need storage for my backup where I can store maybe 10TB.
For long term archive I am happy to use AWS Deep Glacier (and ideally I will never have to restore from there). But I also need place where I can keep data I need more frequent access.
Maybe only what is missing is what @asdffdsa pointed earlier - more advanced S3 access controls modes. But for my personal usage it is not critical (especially that I would have to pay 400% more for it)
Otherwise iDrive ticks all boxes:
- good pricing - maybe not ideal and requires some planning due to subscription model but OK
- acceptable pay as you go pricing if I need it (the cheapest among all S3 hot storage providers I know)
- S3 standard API I can use with
rcloneand many other tools - no egress - or rather very fair one - up to 3x stored data for free
- no transactions fees
- I can choose hosting site geographically close to my location

I've been utilizing Telegram as an efficient and cost-effective file storage solution. By leveraging its free storage capacity, I've managed to store an extensive library of around 30TB. The beauty of this setup lies in the fact that I only need to cover the modest expense of a VPS, typically ranging from $3 to $5 per month, which is necessary solely for remote file access. However, the majority of the time, my file access occurs within my home network.
I've developed a comprehensive user interface and backend for seamless navigation and management. Additionally, I've incorporated rclone support, optimizing file uploads for faster transmission to Telegram's servers .I haven't faced any issues till now and it works better than any cloud storage option out in market.

That's a new one on me, I can't imaging they can provide free unlimited storage for long. What happens if you get banned from Telegram?
I have been using it for 2-3 years.Best way is to split into multiple account which is not yet needed for me but I am thinking to split to another account after 40tb.

But how do you upload the data to github/telegram? rclone doesn't have support for that no?
thanks!
I had forked rclone repository and added support for it but it's for personal use as for now.Some guys were working for official telegram support on rclone but I think it's not possible until you develop your own backend api on top of it for easy management of file so I created backend in go and integrated with rclone
so you have to create a middleware between telegram and rclone? And to integrate with github is the same? thanks
