The 1TB plan for Pixel Union is also โ‚ฌ10/mo. I wanted to note the yearly price, since that's usually the cheapest, but if you're paying monthly, expect that.

They also have add-on pricing for additional storage needs, which you can find via a slider on their pricing page, up to 20TB.

It's their only service, they make money by customers paying them to host their photos. They don't subsidise by crawling through all of your photos, mails, documents and then use that information to display Search and YouTube ads getting money from advertisement seals.

If its too expensive for you then it's what it is, but it's unrealistic to expect small scale competitors to outperform big tech offerings on every front.

You are off course absolutely correct.

I have started lately to pay extra to get the service/quality/production location I want. So why should this be any exception.

Thanks for reminding me

It is. I wasn't advocating for them, just sharing pricing.
