Learned the hard way about cloud backup costs for my photo files
I took on a wedding photography gig last fall and figured I could just use Google Drive for all the raw files. After uploading 400 GB of photos over a few weeks, I got hit with a $90 overage charge the next month. My wife pointed out that I should have just paid for a proper cloud service with a flat rate upfront. Has anyone else found a better way to handle big file storage without getting surprised by fees?

Dude that exact thing happened to me with Google Drive for my design files. I thought I was being smart until I saw the bill and my jaw just dropped.

My buddy Dave hit 200GB on Dropbox during his wedding photo edits. He got the notification, shrugged it off, and then a $300 bill showed up the next month. He was literally screaming at his laptop over a cup of cold coffee.
