I'm looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online

Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it

Yet another B2 user here, I only backup things I can't afford to lose so my monthly spend isn't particularly high. I think the most I've ever paid for was around 1.5TB. One big draw for B2 is their upcoming egress policy change tomorrow: up to 3x the data stored with them is free to transfer out every day. Egress absolutely wrecks people's storage budgets a lot of the time, restoration costs can be absurd when you need to recover data.
