Backblaze announced decreased prices for its new B2 Cloud Storage. This cloud storage service is not encrypted or manipulated in any way, but users can encrypt their own files beforehand. The first 10GB are free then the cost is "half a penny per gigabyte" regardless of the amount of storage. Upload is free and download is $0.05 per GB. The price of $0.005 is less expensive than Amazon's Glacier which also has limits on data retrieval comes with the caveat that retrieving your data may take hours. "We'll offer access via a web GUI. Anyone can access it via our web interface. Then we offer a command line interface for IT people and if you're a developer, there's an API for the service."
