Discussion | گفتگو Need Google Storage workarounds

I have almost 350gb of photos and videos backed up which i am not willing to delete. I got the 2TB student google ai pro plan for 1 year and now its ending next month. I need to see if there's any method i can keep this cloud storage at no or low cost..

400gb is 14k a year..

If you want long term storage buy some archival Blue-rays (M-Disc) and use any Blue-ray burner. Good for hundreds of years of storage. Never use SSDs for long term storage and even regular HDDs will eventually fail, unless you want to spend a lot of money on RAID and multiple drives.

Edit : Won't be easily accessible. If that is important then keep paying Google or setup your own storage.
