I would also recommend Microsoft Onedrive/office 365 to anyone looking for really cheap only storage. For roughly $6 a month you can get 5 accounts with 10TB each.
A one year Office 365/Onedrive Home Premium pack with 5 licences costs $70 on amazon. By default Onedrive accounts only have 1TB right now, but microsoft announced a few months ago that they are changing that to unlimited and are rolling that out right now. You can request an account to be upgraded to 10TB right now[1]. The upgrade only took 1 day for me.
So that makes it $6 for 5x10TB total, or $0.12/TB/month.
And you also get all the actual Office products.
I recently started using that as an extra backup location since I've had to many issues with crashplan to trust them and dropbox or google drive's storage plans don't work out very well if you just need a little more than 1TB.
How exactly does one use it? Are there open source clients? Can I use it on Linux? What kind of limitations are there to file size or number? How fast is it to store/retrieve?
