alt Hacker NewsI pay Dropbox $120 per year for 2TB. No transfer fees, solid Apps, macOS integration, free APIs.
How much on S3? A LOT more.

Fwiw, 2TB on R2 is $30/month, Wasabi is $14/month, both support S3, neither have egress fees. Backblaze is $10/month for 2TB but has an egress quota after which there are fees, so Backblaze is same cost as Dropbox, minus the egress quota. If Dropbox works for you there's no reason to switch.
Just saying, but this is not really fair. It's not like you use that 2TB. So you shouldn't compare it to a 2TB bucket. Most of these plans have limits to prevent abuse but they're well beyond the 'I need to care' level.
Maybe you use 1TB, maybe just 10GB. As a user on this site I expect you know that a 10GB plan and a 1TB plan won't be that much different.
I think the idea is any s3 compatible api endpoint can be used. The code also clearly supports both backblaze, and more importantly, local blob storage
