I'm planning to look into https://www.storj.io/pricing (150GB free if I understand this correctly) for my own backup needs. You could theoretically host your own node somewhere on a cheap VPS, get credits and pay for your own storage? Not sure - I myself have to do some research.

Then you'd need a fronend capable mounting Storj and they seem to have pretty good documentation.

Again, unaffiliated, and not tested (yet)

Another alternative - pay google (https://one.google.com/about/plans) via a VPN in Turkey and you have 10TB for about 20USD a year. Make the files shared and there you go.

Oh and: I'm very sorry about what's happening in HK the last few years. I still hope the process is reversible.

They also provide S3 compatible gateway meant to be used to share content stored on the bucket publicly.

Time4vps is EU. They have excellent prices for storage servers. I've been using one to backup for afew years.
