Cost-effective server for low-budget remote editing?

[Bob Zelin]

….. and your father smelled like elderberries.

My wife said that when he didn’t insult me after my smart ass comments, that made him “win”. Maybe he will change his mind, and eventually write back what a SOB I am.

[Bob Zelin] “you are supposed to insult me at this point.”

Classic.

A whole side to Bob is revealed that we never knew about…

So I did some quick maths as a “for example” of what it would cost to host 3TBs on Amazon S3… it’s about $390/mo… Seems maybe a bit high, but it would be fast and accessible. You could do something like Backblaze (unlimited desktop backup service) that’s only like $5/mo but it will super slow. If there was something in between, what would you be willing to pay monthly (per TB?).

Alternatively you could rent some space at a data hotel, throw a server in there, etc., but then you have to also worry about backups, server admin, etc.

A big question also is of course what size files are you working with and what kind of time do you have to send/receive them?

My company has some really good cloud storage available that we could possibly resell if it suits your needs, or maybe some other service could be recommended.

The big question is of course the Bob Zelin factor, “DO YOU HAVE A REAL BUDGET? IF NOT GO HOME.”

Thanks so much, David. Sorry for the delayed response. I appreciate your help.

Did I miss my chance? I can come up with something!
