Well it's a VPS that I use for more than just nextcloud. And I don't use all the storage I already pay for. If I needed more, I could pay $0.10 per GB for additional storage

Google drive and dropbox are better deals for storage, so I can see why they'd be attractive for people who need more.

So that would be $100 per terabyte/mo. So I'm not sure that's an awesome deal.

A 250GB SSD is what? 30$ these days?

You could buy a lot of SSD's for that over the course of a year, and have the storage local.
