I've recently analysed pricing of various storage providers when thinking of building a side project, and I was surprised at how costly the services were.

S3, Drive, Dropbox, Spaces, B2, Box, several Object Storage solutions. Some cases storage was cheap, but the transfer was costly. Everything seemed costly for the simple use case of providing an end user 10GB monthly upload + ~50GB bandwidth at low cost.

A vps with additional storage seemed to be the ~better~ most feasible solution to me.

This sounds like a terrific thing to host on a vps.
