I pay Yandex here less than $1 per month

I always chuckle over pennies per month comparisons. Are folks really that
 broke??

for 2 Tb. Feel the difference ;)

All I need is 70GB so having 100GB or 100TB would make no difference to me.
 YMMV.
Another advantage for me is that since I am assimilated into the Google
 Universe my off site Google storage shows up in the local drives of my
 Chrome devices. Likewise in the Google Drive app in my Android devices. No
 browser needed...

In fact, I'm paying $3,7 for 10 Tb S3 object storage and  full unlimited photo and video storage (which I don't use), and $0,3 for each subsequent terabyte.
On the other hand, I have to connect part of this storage to my VDS, where I am provided with only 30 GB (crying ;). However, it is completely free.
