The cost of file storage varies depending on the provider, storage type, capacity, and additional features like data access frequency, redundancy, and geographic location.
Key Factors Affecting Cost:
-
Storage Type:
- Standard Storage: For frequently accessed data (e.g., $0.02–$0.05 per GB/month).
- Archive Storage: For infrequently accessed data (e.g., $0.002–$0.01 per GB/month).
- High-Performance Storage: For low-latency needs (e.g., $0.10–$0.50 per GB/month).
-
Capacity: Pricing is often tiered; larger volumes may reduce per-GB costs.
-
Data Access & Retrieval: Some providers charge for data reads/writes or retrieval fees (common in archive storage).
-
Redundancy & Location: Multi-region replication or high-availability options increase costs.
Example Pricing (Hypothetical):
- Standard File Storage: $0.03/GB/month for 1TB → $30/month.
- Archive Storage: $0.005/GB/month for 10TB → $50/month.
