I’m noticing other comments are mentioning other services so I’ll just throw another one out there: Storj
I have a NAS, but use Storj for off-site backup. The performance, client-side encryption (by default) and price are all winners in my book. They’ve got an S3 gateway too but I personally avoid it due to it needing keys for encryption.
(I also used to rent out excess hard disk space to their network in the early days but that’s another story.)
Yeah great storage price at ~$4 / TB / month. But be aware that egress is $7 / TB.
If someone is mostly just backing up, that's probably not an issue... well, at least until you have to do a big restore, or you do large recovery testing, or even just backup validations, etc.
If someone is doing lots of reading of their cloud data, e.g. streaming, then there are overall cheaper options than Storj.
One other thing I liked about Storj is that they split each file up geographically. So there's a little extra level of privacy and security.
