What photo storage hell? flickr offers 1TB of online storage. Free. The only downside is they are limited to .jpg uploads, but I doubt Apple would do RAW anyway. Seriously, $50 a year for 200GB is pretty sad. Almost as sad as being restricted to 5GB of iCloud backup space no matter how many iDevices you buy.

Is there some place to get it cheaper? Just for rule of thumb checking AWS (with their new pricing) it would cost ~$72/year for the 200GB storage alone, without factoring in any cost for transferring data, requests, etc.

I'm curious if there is a way to get storage cheaper than their existing $50 for 200GB/year. And yes, I know Flickr is free, but I mean from some place where the pricing isn't in exchange for some "to be determined later" monetization angle.

Dreamhost offers unlimited storage, and if you buy two years up front it's $3.95 a month (I think this might be a promo, I'm paying closer to 9 a month but it's worth it). I've been with them for about ten years and they're swell.
