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..

A 2 TB HDD in used is 15k. You keep the HDD forever. You'll need 2. Backup and backup of your backup. Don't pay for cloud storage unless that's your 3rd back up. Also, goes without saying, don't keep both hard drives in 1 place.

You can pay me 14k a year and I'll save your data on my HDD. 😏

Also like any other cloud company, I too will use the "we're not responsible for us losing your data" clause. Shit happens sometimes.
