You start with workspace basic, 6 USD a month per user. Gives you basic functionality and 30gb per user pooled. That works for a while, maybe a year or two.
Then you notice that your product images, videos etc. are filling up those 30gb per user super fast!
You look at the next step up.
That costs you another 8 USD a month for a total of 14 USD a month per user.
Get yourself 7 users and you are seeing an invoice of over 1K USD a year!
That escalated quickly.
That is where NextCloud comes in. Not the paranoid, self hosted, I have too much time on my hands kind of NextCloud. I wish it was not the case that running your instance was time consuming but experience plus most user's experience on the internet show that it is the case. The hosted Nextcloud that gives you 1Tb of storage and infinite users for 6 USD a month!
The Storage Share kind of Nextcloud. It took me nearly 20 hours of searching and googling to stumble on this solution. I found it by looking for SMTP storage solutions - rsync.net or Hetzner's own Storage Box.
If I hadn't started with google I would have already changed out my email provider to someone like Forward Email which gives you unlimited accounts for 9 USD a month.
I'm sad to know that it was so hard to find this solution and I want to do at least the small gesture of writing about it to help maybe one small business save thousands a year by using this solution.
