What's the cheapest online storage that you know of?

I'm looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online

Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it

Since you didn't mention your requirements, I'll assume data integrity isn't super important. In that case, allow me to introduce you to /dev/null as a service. It's free and has unlimited capacity.

Now we just need to invent a way to read the Void of Nothingness to retrieve the data and bam! Infinite storage.

That's easy, just read from /dev/urandom. The access speed is super slow, but eventually you'll find your data

Idk man, I think it might have some reliability issues... I tried restoring my data and all I got back was a badly-typed copy of the complete works of Shakespeare.

Try running: sed 's/blurst of times/worst of times/g'
