Storage costs about the same everywhere
Most object stores charge a few dollars per 250 GB. Ours is $5 for 250 GB and $0.02 for each GB over, the same as a typical cloud.
Downloads are where bills grow
A typical cloud includes 1 TB of transfer and charges for the rest. Low-cost stores allow downloads up to a multiple of what you store, then charge. Some forbid heavy downloads outright.
Here, downloads are free
No per-GB transfer price and no monthly cap, on Free and Standard. Serving a file a million times costs the same as storing it.
