Sounds like you're talking about a media server or similar. I recently bought a couple of 8TB Seagate Barracuda 3.5" SATA spinning rust drives for that very purpose. Slap them in an unused tower or something, or
even connect them via a USB3-to-SATA adapter to an active computer, and let it rip. It's not "cloud" storage, but it's a safety copy. Getting that much capacity in the cloud would indeed be expensive, irregardless
of connection speed or bandwidth caps. Works for me.
Combined storage - I have a Synology NAS that has the ability to back up
to the cloud. That Synology backs up my Proxmox server and VMs, then for
media I have them on a local hard disk. That's mirrored to the Synology,
which backs it up to an external drive. If I lose my house, I'll lose my
data - but that would be the least of my worries... :(
