not if you have more than 2tb of data because you're a videographer or an audio engineer
If you have 2 tb + of cloud storage then you are far removed from the average person lol.
S3 would be pretty cheap.
Only if you have archived data and use fitting lifecycle policies. 2TB of regular S3 would cost ~$40 which is about 4x the price of Google Drive. That's not even accounting for the data retrieval costs.
I bought 20TB HDDs Seagate, the price is about 16 euros per TB.
Great if it works for you, but it's not equivalent to cloud (access anywhere, automatically backed up...)
