[DeepDive] Cloud Storage and DIY Alternatives (Dropbox, S3, Resilio Sync, etc)
DropBox

-
Plus US$11/mo, 2TB
- Though I am only using like 45GB of my potential 2TB, and I expect many others would use similarly low amounts of their available storage.
- 45GB could cost between $0.5625 to $1.035 per month on AWS S3.. so works out quite a bit cheaper.
- You would need to store ~478GB or more before Dropbox works out as the cheaper option..

S3 Intelligent-Tiering is a new Amazon S3 storage class designed for customers who want to optimize storage costs automatically when data access patterns change, without performance impact or operational overhead. S3 Intelligent-Tiering is the first cloud object storage class that delivers automatic cost savings by moving data between two access tiers — frequent access and infrequent access — when access patterns change, and is ideal for data with unknown or changing access patterns.
