      9,99€ per month for 2 TB seems pretty normal to me. Google Drive is the same price iirc, and other providers have similar pricing.

        That’s still expensive tho. After 10 months you could’ve just bought a 2tb nvme instead. Or a refurbished 10tb HDD.

          Of course, but that’s an alternative you still have. As long as you have a computer, you can backup your phone to it just fine. The $100 for the drive also doesn’t factor in redundancy, bandwidth cost, power cost and maintenance.
