Is there anything that offers the same amount of storage as Onedrive? I pay about £80 a year and get 6 TB across 6 email addresses. One is mine and the others are for family.

To add to that, they all get the Office suite included too, which is 100% compatible with whatever random office files other normies send them.

For that much storage, you'd be better to self host. The initial cost would probably be around 3 months of your current bill, and open office is free.

Friendly reminder that OpenOffice is barely maintained and has no community left. LibreOffice is where the community moved to over a decade ago 🙂

You know, I was waiting for this comment as soon as I listed open office. I sometimes use libre, but I like open better for no real reason. I've never run into anything it can't do, except of course for whatever reason I can't remember that caused me to get libre in the first place.

Fair enough, it's just worth noting that Apache has been very neglectful of security flaws. But you do you!

6 TB for $20? Man I haven't looked at hardware prices in a while.

They said there current bill was 80 /Year. 3 months would be 80/4. 20, though I realize they didnt say dollars now. But still really cheap

True, but then I'd have no offsite storage. I know that Onedrive isn't the best option, but it's better than nothing
