Anyone storing lots of data like video/audio? Which cloud provider are you using?

AWS & GCP are out, too expensive.
I'm looking into backblaze and Wasabi, wondering if there's any other I should consider.

    Yeah backblaze and wasabi are good if you have lots of download. I was looking into them but then I realized I don't have anything released and will probably not have that many users either way.

      yeah, I looked at them, and I'll be using Wasabi for now. Maybe b2 for backup. The issue with b2 is that when you can't have a presigned URL, and when you get a URL it can be used for unlimited upload for 24hrs, not great for client side upload. Wasabi is more true to the S3 implementation.

      BTW, you can use minio to create your own S3 compatible API that you can run on your own server or for local development. I'm using it now for local development, when I go live, I'll switch it to Wasabi.

        For me, I just compressed my images and I'm storing them in firebase storage (Google cloud storage).

    You could use digital Ocean Spaces. They come with free CDN

      looked at it, gonna be too expensive since the CDN won't be needed much.
