And it is still expensive today
Note that this blog post says it’s too cheap (see “ill-considered price decrease” and the post behind the link).
I pay ~6€ for 1TB of storage on Hetzner managed Nextcloud instance, that is 0,005859375€ per GB. Obviously, that is not a back up solution or a back up solution for the "PARANOID tm", but come on, 0.25$ per GB is a ripoff
At that pricing, if you need to backup less than 25GB compressed data, Hetzner is more expensive than the "ripoff".
Good thinking there pal, but you are missing the point. If I wanted to store 25GB i could probably find a spot that'd do it for free (Mega, Google Drive etc)
If you need free space to store something this is so not for you buddy... Just go register 10 google accounts to spread your stuff around and you never need to pay for storage;) some people like to be a customer not a product
