Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

Maybe try this then, I've heard good things about them. $7/mo for unlimited storage.

Actually a bit confused by their pricing structure, I think it's $0.005/gb, I could be wrong. So 2tb would be like $20/mo ($10 base + $10 for 2000gb), still pretty cheap.

That is only backup. None of the other features that come with Drive

It also comes at a fraction of the price. If you complain about price, then this is your solution.
