Hi All,
I am looking at setting up a nextcloud instance just for our family(we already run one at home) and see that Amazon S3 or Openstack Object Storage can be used as external storage,
I can then enable encryption in Nextcloud and store the data off of the local instance/vps etc.
So I was thinking it might work out cheaper to host to nexcloud as a linux shared hosting solution and then use IBM OpenStack Object storage or Amazon S3
I had a look at the cost estimator of both and it seems for 20GB to start off with(My understanding is you only pay for what you use) is quite cheap.
Is it as simple as just s3 storage and the small costs for the data transfers etc, or am I missing an important component of S3 that perhaps needs to be added to the cost estimate?

Please may I ask for your guidance on S3 or other storage?
Thank you very much
 
With S3, you pay for the storage, data transfer out of S3 (not into S3) and request pricing..

Provided you stick with standard storage class, there are no other costs that could come back to bite you later..
