Follow past the break for a brief breakdown of what you'll get from Google, along with Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive and iCloud.ħGB (25GB for existing users who opted in)ĢGB (with referral bonuses, as detailed below)Ģ5GB: $2.49 per month 100GB: $4.99 per month 1TB: $49.99 per month. Now that Google has finally announced its cloud service, Google Drive, we're sure more than a few of you are crunching the numbers in your head in an attempt to figure which is the best deal. The network will have no full-time employees, no offices, no heating and cooling expenses, and no shareholders to demand profits.Sometimes a table says a thousand words.
The Storj network will run on the users’ existing computers, so operating costs will be much cheaper than a centralized provider. Storj plans to drop the cost of cloud storage dramatically. Storj will only charge for storage used, not capacity. One should also note that Amazon charges for the amount of capacity used, not for total capacity like Dropbox does. Therefore, after hosting expenses Dropbox is making about $0.06 per GB per month, or $72 per year per subscriber. Amazon charges $0.0275 a month per stored GB after its client has used more than 5,000 TB of data, which should be more or less what Dropbox is paying. It is worth mentioning that it doesn't matter if the user stores 100 GB or 1 GB on his account he or she will still have to pay $99 a year for the whole 100 GB capacity, not the actual usage.ĭropbox is known to use Amazon's S3 cloud storage services for their backend. This is roughly $1.00 per GB per year or $0.083 per month. Let’s look at Dropbox’s $99 per year plan, which provides users up to 100GB of cloud storage.
Dropbox’s free plan limits users to 2GB of cloud storage, but users can pay a monthly or yearly fee for a larger capacity. Even neglecting privacy, Storj can easily beat Dropbox’s prices.
