I do my archiving to S3 Glacier Deep Archive but my data volume is still so low that Amazon doesn't bother charging my card.
how much data are we talking about?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does it accumulate month to month and eventually they charge you once a threshold is reached?
I think they'll charge me only when my current monthly statement is enough to charge. Pretty sure I've never been charged so far with my monthly statement being like 0.02€.
And that's only 309Mbits/s (or 39MB/s).
And a used refurbished server you can easily get loads or ram, cores out the wazoo, and dozens of TB's for under $1000. You'll need a rack, router, switch, and batt backup. Shouldn't cost much more than $2000 for this.
I would also like to ask everyone about suggestions for deep storage of personal data, media etc. 10TB with no need for access unless in case of emergency data loss. I'm currently using S3 intelligent tiering.
Wasabi, unlimited bandwidth. $5.99/tb/month. Though it is object storage. See: https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/#cost-estimates They could really do with making the bandwidth option on this calculator better.
Wasabi does not have any sort of unlimited bandwidth. In fact, they explicitly say that if your download exceeds 100TB/month your use case is not a good fit. https://wasabi.com/paygo-pricing-faq/#free-egress-policy
Wasabi isn't meant for scenarios where you're going to be transferring more than you're storing.
Hetzner auctions have a 4x 6TB server for €39.70/mo. Throw that in RAID10 and you'll have 12TB usable space with > 300TB bandwidth.
Storage Boxes are even cheaper, 20 EUR (or less if you’re outside Europe) for 10TB + unlimited bandwidth.
But if splitting your traffic across multiple servers is possible you can also get the €20 storage box and put a couple Hetzner Cloud servers with a caching reverse proxy in front (that's like 10 lines of Nginx config). The cheapest Hetzner Cloud option is the CAX11 with 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD and 20TB traffic for €3,79. Six of those plus the Storage Box gives you the traffic you need, lots of bandwidth for usage peaks, SSD cache for frequently requested files, and easily upgradable storage in the Storage Box, all for €42. Also scales well at $3,79 for every additional 20TB traffic, or $1/TB if you forget and pay fees for the excess traffic instead.
You will be babysitting this more than the $150/month cloudflare solution, but even if you factor in the cost of your time you should come out ahead.
Wasabi.com is usually a good bet when your primary cost is bandwidth.

Find a bare metal server with 1GBit connection and you are all set.
It's like Dropbox except peer to peer. So it's free, limited only by your client side storage.
The catch is it's only peer to peer (unless they added a managed option), so at least one other peer must be online for sync to take place.
