Maybe you don't care if you're a larger company but the pricing is insanely higher than competitors.

Just to turn SFTP on at AWS, you need to pay $0.3/h ($216/mo) and it even costs to upload not just for download at $0.04/GB. If you upload 100GB/day, that's also about $120/mo and if you're storing about 1TB you're paying like $350/mo for such little storage you get.

Who wants to pay for upload? At this point, why don't you just run EBS backed EC2 yourself?

With that kind of pricing, you'd get like 15TB of space at rsync.net and it doesn't leech users for bandwidth and on every parameters as AWS does. (If you use the borg discount, you get 40TB+ at $0.008/GB!)

And at what benefit does it bring for the price difference? I see no point in using it. Maybe people don't care to mention than not knowing it.
