Cloud Hosting

I've never trusted cloud storage for archival.

The only place I'd trust is a professional service like Amazon Web Services S3 Storage. It's designed for companies that store petabytes of data, so it's not aimed at consumers, which is actually a good thing for people who have massive amounts of data. The best part is you only pay for what you need per GB, so there's no flat fee just to have an account.

You could use two of their different tiers based on what you described:

If you stored 20TB of data at their S3 Glacier - Instant Retrieval tier which allows millisecond access to files, it's $0.004/GB, so $81.92 per month.

If you wanted to squeeze every last penny out and weren't concerned about how long it took to retrieve the files, as long as they were stored safely, you could use the S3 Glacier - Deep Archive tier which allows access to files within 12 hours of submitting a request. It's $0.00099/GB, so $20.28 per month for the 20TB.

Hopefully that helps, not sure if you've ever looked into AWS S3 but they have outstanding options and different types of storage tiers for all sorts of needs. You could also mix and match files in your 20TB arrangement depending on if you have some that you access frequently and others that just need to sit somewhere.

1TB free cloud storage offered by TeraBox is definitely not legit ...
