Furthermore, there is True Archiving, as no data gets deleted from the online account until either you manually delete it, or run the command for Archive Cleanup, which then matches the account to what is on your computer. The process is to look for the modified part of the file, and to then only transfer the modified data to not clog up the network bandwidth. IDrive e2 deals with this, by doing incremental backups. Data can be accessed from mobile devices, and can be backed up from them.Īll of these uploads can take quite a bit of bandwidth. The platforms supported go even beyond this with software for a Linux/Unix server, a Window’s Basic Client, and a thin client for PC’s and Macs. There are also mobile apps available, for both the iOS and Android platforms. IDrive e2 can be used on a variety of platforms, with dedicated software for Windows and Mac, with regular updates that are almost monthly. If redundancy across multiple regions is important to your standard storage use case, Google Cloud Storage is worth taking a hard look at.(Image credit: IDrive e2) IDrive e2: Features Google Cloud Storage is the cheapest, with the simplest tier structure overall relative to AWS and Azure, and also has a more cost-effective solution to achieve extra redundancy. Of the Big 3 providers, Azure Blob Storage is the most expensive for most standard storage use cases, but does have intelligent tiering and a large amount of variety (and resulting complexity) to get different pricing applied depending on zones, regions, etc. Storj DCS ($4/TB), Backblaze B2 ($5/TB) and Wasabi ($5.99/TB) are the lowest cost providers. The basic cost of storing files for regular access patterns falls under the “Standard” storage tiers of most cloud providers (as opposed to archive or infrequent access). To find the best priced vendor that has all the features you need, we encourage you to go through our five minute questionnaire. Opting for reserved storage pricing can significantly reduce costs, especially on the “Big 3” providers (AWS, Azure and GCP) and even Wasabi.
For the low cost providers, see our special considerations section for Wasabi, Storj DCS or Backblaze B2.
Other "gotchas" exist like Wasabi's egress fair use policy which limits the free egress you can use. For example, tagging is not possible with Storj DCS and Backblaze B2. Some low cost providers may not have some of the key features your application needs.
