I dunno, I still find m365 family a great deal. 5TB cloud storage for less then 100 euro a year? And get the best most complète Office suite as a bonus?

If you compare that to the competition it's a slam dunk. I need cloud storage. I need an office suite.

Same goes for prime here in NL by the way. Unlimited photo storage, free games monthly, streaming, Luna, free shipping for less then 6 euro.

Just wanted to give an idea for pricing of a self hosted alternative:

  • 5-6TB drive is around 100 EUR
  • Intel NUC as a server is around 200 EUR
  • My personal power consumption is 6 kWh per month at 24/7 operation, here that costs 10 EUR per year

You can chose other parts, you may already have some parts, Im giving my own example here.
Keeping in mind you need to be a bit tech savy to set this up, keep it updated, data secure, things may break down the line and require maintenance, etc.. The upside: the data is yours, you are reliant on yourself, it can do more than just store files.
But obviously: to each their own!

Really?

I bought a 4TB external hdd ~6 months ago at 149 EUR and thought that was cheap. Dang.

Went on Amazon and found a Seagate barracuda 8TB drive for 130€

Probably not the best for an actual server, but for a personal NAS seems reasonable
