Interesting comparison price when something like Sia is so cheap per TB (4 dollars). Will be interesting to see how it developers.

I tried to use Sia once but I needed to download the entire blockchain. Not a fan of storing 5 GB locally so I can store 1 GB remotely...

It looks they also have S3 support now. Will need to try it out.

I think $20/TB*month is exactly what GCP charges, and is probably on par with what Amazon charges.
