Hi! I am kinda having a storage crisis and I need your help. My 1 TB external hard drive is almost full I can't delete anything my computer storage is also full so I can't offload anything to the hard drive. All my free cloud storages are also full including a 100GB one. I need some more permanent solution. Do you know a cloud storage with industrial capacities(I am talking 1 TB storage minimum) which is also either free (without having your account terminated if you don't login) or costs 1 or 2 dollars at most. I can't currently pay more a month because I also pay for Apple Music and I don't have a big budget.I need to store mostly videos but don't tell me Google Photos has unlimited storage because for some reason I cannot upload anything there I start uploading and it finishes uploading all right but then the files are nowhere to be found as if I haven't uploaded them. Even the automatic backup from my phone is buggy and sometimes stuff doesn't get uploaded. So pls tell me some reliable solution to solve my storage crisis because I am really fed up with having no storage.

Looking around the absolute cheapest I can find is $6/month or more for around 1TB of storage. Anything for less is either a scam or doesn't exist

Sounds like you aught to build yourself a NAS/File Server.

 

I don't particularly recommend this but if you're willing to set it up yourself you could research AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud. Their free tier/free trial may offer you sufficient off-site storage until you can get something going yourself.

 

You do need a debit/credit card though.

Ok thanks! So from these options I find AWS the cheapest and most appealing to me. As I read the price for 100GB per month there is 0.45USD. which is awesome. But does that mean that every month I get 100 GB(so if I fill it up next month I get another 100GB) or 100GB and that's it I pay every moth for keeping those 100 GB? I cannot contact them without an account and I have to pay 1 dollar to sign up which I am not gonna do unless I decide to actually use it so I need that info in order to decide if it's worthy.

Ok update I contacted them turns out I was mistaken for the fee to make an account. So I get that you pay for what you use but I don't know if you have to pay for the data you already have in the cloud to remain in the cloud. I will ask them about that but in the meantime if you use Glacier and know about pls let me know.
