Amazon Drive removing unlimited storage plan

If it's just backup, and it's from a single computer (with potentially multiple external harddrives), then maybe BackBlaze: https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup.html

Backblaze (and others) don't support backing up from a NAS, which, for a family, is impractical.

But isn't that with B2 pricing, not the $5/month unlimited pricing?

Sure, but B2's pricing isn't too expensive anyway. If I had all 7TB of usable space filled up on my NAS it'd cost me $35/mo - that's easily doable, even for a digital packrat like myself.

That's $420 a year, which is well over what the grand-grand-*-poster of this sidethread mentioned was too much.

Even for his smaller data size of 3TB it still works out to $180 a year which is the same as what he'd have to pay Amazon.
