The cloud is just someone elses computer, you could pay 19.99 a year for 100 gbs of storage on some shady corporations server somewhere for them to inevitably jack up the price. Or you could not be an idiot and buy a 128 gb flash drive for 14.99 one time and have that storage forever.

Flashdrives are not forever storage. Flashdrives corrupt literally all the time. And old flashdrives that sit around also corrupt while not in use. If you care about your data, store that data in multiple places. Follow the data hygiene rules. 3 2 1: 3 copies of the data, on 2 different storage mediums, with 1 copy off-site.

You think you can do better for 15 dollars go ahead.

15? I pay like 80 euro for 1 year m365 family. That's 5 Terrabyte for 80/12=6,66 euro/month.

That's less then a cent per GB. Much less. Combine that with Amazon photos (Unlimited photo storage, included with prime) and i'm set.

There is no cheaper storage plan.
