I personally treat all storage as unreliable, and public cloud is no exception. Some clients had to extract petabyte+ datasets on a two week notice You may want to check out Nirvanix story, it’s dated but still quite relevant. Are heavy users being subsidized by light users? Sure, just like people buying things on sale are being subsidized by people who pay full price.Īnd if you think just because you’re paying a-la-carte your services cannot be terminated or substantially changed, well… let’s just say there is no universal law that prevents it from happening. In fact, unlimited bandwidth for end users is more of a norm than the exception nowadays. My internet provider provided unlimited bandwidth plans for many, many years, and there is no indication they are going out of business any time soon. Unlimited minutes mobile plans? Can be sustainable. Unlimited bandwidth internet connection? Can be sustainable. All-you-can-eat restaurants?

Ok, but storage and bandwidth cost money to provide and anything “unlimited for fixed price” can not be a sustainable business model. Relevant comment here: (Newbie) Backup entire machine? - #6 by saspus Use B2, or S3, or Azure, where you can crank up thread count and get unbounded throughput. If you want good restore performance – avoid file sharing services (Dropbox, OneDrive, etc). To verify, connect to one drive with the same credentials using CyberDuck or Transmit, and try to transfer a collection of 1-10MB files. So to use OneDrive as a target in the first place, you should not be using more than 2 threads.
with multiple threads) they will throttle you up to a ban. You will never get any good performance from it, and if you try (e.g. On the other hand, OneDrive is not designed for bulk storage: it’s a file sync and collaboration service, and as long as OneDrive client works (and it does not need to be fast) Microsoft would not be fixing any potential issues that help customers abuse the platform. On one hand, 28Mb/s is about 3.5MBps, and accounting for API latency overhead, you get about the correct speed.
