Filebase isn't really for people that can - and want - to do that. Its for people with non-engineer management that want a dramatically cheaper S3.

If you want cheaper S3 then you go with a cheaper object storage provider, and there are plenty that are cheaper than this and will provide a much better experience and guarantee:

This is taking into consideration bandwidth, which Filebase does charge for.

> R2 will zero-rate infrequent storage operations under a threshold — currently planned to be in the single digit requests per second range. Above this range, R2 will charge significantly less per-operation than the major providers. Our object storage will be extremely inexpensive for infrequent access and yet capable of and cheaper than major incumbent providers at scale.

Sure, if you don't access those objects frequently.
