S3 is costly and carries significant political baggage. For a better alternative, run MinIO on a cloud provider of your choice, or stick with a secure option like Proton Drive.

I bought 35$/mo 16TB server from OVH. I am running 2 replicas of Garage, one on this server. I am using this for backup for now but probably I will also move my Nextcloud files there and websites. This is fine for now and less pricey than any S3 provider I was able to find.
