It’s been two months today since Amazon announced that they are discontinuing their unlimited storage plan for Amazon Cloud: [https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/08/amazon-ends-its-unlimited-cloud-storage-plan/](https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/08/amazon-ends-its-unlimited-cloud-storage-plan/) I believe many of us duplicati users have been or still are on such an unlimited plan. So what alternatives have people come up with? Are you just continuing on the 1TB plan on Amazon? Or what? ---

I’m using G Suite with unlimited storage plan… Crossing fingers ---

Are you referring to this? > Each G Suite user can store up to 30 GB of content for free (compared to 15 GB with G Suite free edition or individual consumer accounts). This storage is shared between Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. If you’re approaching the limit or if you’ve run out of storage, you can purchase additional storage or reduce your storage usage. > > Unlimited storage is available with the G Suite Enterprise or Business or Education edition (if you have 5 or more users) or 1 TB of storage (if you have 4 or fewer users). > > Source: [Manage files in your Google Drive storage - Gmail Help](https://support.google.com/a/answer/1186436?hl=en) ---

Some alternatives have been suggested elsewhere on the forum: > [@Most cost efficient backend for about 300GB](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/most-cost-efficient-backend-for-about-300gb/125/2): > > I use Stack from TransIP for my Duplicati backups. I’m not sure if invite requests are accepted globally, it’s a Dutch storage service. TransIP the biggest hosting company in the Netherlands. With Stack you get 1000 GB (!) storage for free, based on OwnCloud. It’s completely free, no ads, no restrictions and can be accessed using WebDAV. So it’s a great place to use as a backend for Duplicati. You can request an invite here: [TransIP | STACK - Van jou: 1000GB gratis opslag](https://www.transip.nl/stack/) > [@SIA (blockchain) storage network](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/sia-blockchain-storage-network/174): > > Hello Team, Has anyone asked or considered using SIA storage nodes for distributed storage for Duplicati? I don’t work for SIA but I’m aware of what they are building…I thought adding SIA network to Duplicati would give another, perhaps much cheaper option for people to use. According to the [SIA](http://sia.tech/) website, 1 TB of storage costs $2. 5 TB of storage will cost $10. There’s a calculator at the bottom of the page I’ve linked too. Thanks! ---

Amazon Cloud Drive unlimited is still available in Europe. I do use it in Belgium purchased from [amazon.fr](http://amazon.fr) ---

I can confirm that it is also still available on German Amazon. Thanks for pointing that out! This is very strange though. In several ways. But I’m not complaining… UPDATE: It’s over. See [here](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/no-more-unlimited-storage-on-amazon-cloud-what-next/24/11?u=tophee). ---

Backblaze B2 should be about $5/mo for 1TB. ---

After Amazon cloud drive removing unlimitted storage, I am trying wasabi; but I find it slow, around 240 KB/s What speed do you get? ---

No unlimited storage bundle can last for long, there are always people who use them to store third-party and third-party files as they did on One Drive. I believe Office 365 Home (5 1TB licenses) and BlackBerrys are the best options. Anyone else here uses Office 365 Home? ---

> [@tacioandrade](#): > > No unlimited storage bundle can last for long Well, you could not be more to the point, at least when it comes to Amazon. As of 30 November 2017, also Amazon Germany (and my guess is all European Amazons) have discontinued their unlimited plan, offering instead this: ![image](https://forum.duplicati.com/uploads/default/original/1X/55335052dd1ed736c25d86857b5356c034e070fa.png) ---

Yes, the amazon party is over also in France, I received the termination notification. 99€ / Yr / 1TB is not bad, but nothing to compare with “unlimited”. I’d be happy with a few TB around that yearly price. ---

Ok, wasabi speed incremented to 1.1MB/s, what is my maximum link speed; I don’t know why it was slow for some days. My backup would be 2Tb minimum, possibly going to 3Tb. ---

It’s look like you are facing issues with the management of your hosting. It could be very tricky to set up the ideal server and then manage it as well. You can always go with the [AWS EC2](https://www.cloudways.com/blog/what-should-you-know-about-aws-ec2/) server with the management of a third party host as their are many companies who are providing the managed service.
