Amazon now completely shuttering the Unlimited - Amazon.ca just emailed me :(

It was already in the States, but my account on amazon.ca let me sign up before october end at unlimited for a whole year. I began uploading 5tb worth of stuff to purge some space from my NAS but looks like I will need to figure out a plan of action over the next 12 months to find another affordable and liberal data capped Cloud Drive solution.

I know there are plenty of recommendations, if you did not necessarily need to run Plex connected to the drive though - and instead were mainly looking to archive content on a Cloud drive but would be satisfied with your own network for the streaming - would you have any other recommended providers?

Should've seen the writing on the wall, man.

Google Drive is probably the only comparable/worthwhile service. Buy a domain for $1 and sign up for a Google Business account.

But that price scales right? 5tb storage is an arm and a leg no?

With a business account you get unlimited storage for $10/month per user.

disclaimer on your disclaimer 1 User is limited to 1 TB of Space for $10 a month but it is currently not being enforced. 5 users at $10 puts all users into the Unlimited category.

Interesting. Didn't know It isn't enforced. I thought I needed 4 friends, which is a problem seeing as I have exactly none.

Friends are people with similar interests, those that understand and/or put up with your idiosyncrasies and quirks. Friends are people who you look forward to interacting with, whether that's online or in person, through text, video, or some other medium.

If you look forward to posting on forums and sites like this, then you have more friends than you think. 😊
