Money definitely goes up, it also goes down. What's important is what you compare it to. The USD has been going down for a long time, compared to EUR for example.
Bad memory? The first ever EURUSD exchange rate was 1.2034 in December of 2003. Today's rate is 1.2042. It has most certainly not been going down for a long time.

If you want something that you can just plug into and leave alone, I'd just use Storj. It's priced the cheapest and their tech is the best thus far. I will say that it's built for developers so expect needing to spend some time to set everything up.
Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m looking for something that does this analysis that I can follow. When I did the math a few years ago Storj wasn’t the cheapest, so I want a good way to confirm that if storj is best now, what’s best in a year, etc.

I ran some storj nodes a few years ago but gave up because the ratio of what I needed to share to the amount I could store was too poor. I see their pricing [0] has improved but does anyone have a good comparison of the true costs of various storage systems? I feel like I’m dealing with comparing Roblox to hearthstone gems when trying to figure out the cost of S3 vs Storj vs Filecoin vs whatever. It seems like there…
All you need is an AWS cost and usage report and we can tell you the tradeoffs including egress fees and everything.
Would be more than happy to help you out with this.
Their pricing is only slightly cheaper than backblaze b2. For storage they charge $4/TB/month whereas b2 charges $5/TB/month, and for egress they charge $7/TB whereas b2 charges $10/TB. Personally I don't think the risks (eg. your cost going up because crypto price skyrocket, or you losing your data because of a crypto winter) are worth the savings. Not to mention there are much cheaper solutions than the two I menti…

With B2 or similar S3 based storage, it's generally in one datacenter. But at least from what I've heard, stuff like Storj or Sia has an advantage from your files being stored over a large geographic area in multiple places.
Does anyone know the difference between this and TahoLAFS? Almost sounds the same. https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs

Costs shouldn't rise or fall based on the price of the coin. You can pay directly in USD for the storage so that you don't have to worry about the pricing shifts.

I don't know the details myself, but one aspect may be how many places your files are stored. With B2 or similar S3 based storage, it's generally in one datacenter. But at least from what I've heard, stuff like Storj or Sia has an advantage from your files being stored over a large geographic area in multiple places.
that's true for B2, but not for s3. From AWS:
>your objects are automatically stored across multiple devices spanning a minimum of three Availability Zones, each separated by miles across an AWS Region
