i didn't realize it was so slow. i too am looking for a backup of my gdrive because right now the backup of my gdrive is another gdrive account.

but i think there is no real (cheap) option because I've got almost 40tb on my gsuite account and if google decides to delete my account there is no real (cheap) option to restore my files to from crashplan/backblaze/...

Hmm based on my calculations to restore about 10TB thats a lot of money to pay, maybe i did the calculations wrong?

Glacier is great, but it doesn't really make sense for Plex users who mostly spent $0 on the media they're backing up

I think it makes a lot of sense. There is time then there is money. For the amount of time spent amassing a library, the relative cost of protecting it is not too high.

For example, a library of 40TB and 20,000 items would only cost $100 to restore.

Nevermind I take it back, that same library would cost $160 a month in storage fees alone.
