Google Photos is ending its Unlimited Free Storage from June 1, 2021

Does anyone know how hard/costly is it to setup your own backup solution? Either on a NAS type device or buying server space somewhere

I don't mind paying for Google one but eventually I'll run out of 100 GB then 200 GB and so on..

onedrive is really cheap for backup if you can find five other people to pay for the 6 user license.

the cheapest cloud storage i have found is probably wasabi. 6 dollar per month for 1TB. it's object storage so you would need to find a software solution that can upload content to it.

For home users – Nextcloud is probably what you are looking for.

Storage - Hetzner Online GmbH

www.hetzner.com

Hetzner is pretty good, they provide storage with Nextcloud for access.

For the 1 TB or lower plans, Google is cheaper right than Hetzner?

 

[JB701]

Yep its 210 INR (2.38 EUR) for Google One 200GB compared to 255 INR (2.9 EUR) for Hetz.

Does the 210 INR includes GST as well? If not then it's around Rs. 248/pm

 

[JB701]

it includes GST.

Years ago got some promotion on Box that gave 50 GB free lifetime. Still using that as the main backup.

Google's future Pixel phones won't offer unlimited Google Photos backups Lol

Offer dies with Pixel 5.
