Show HN: Megafrost – A Controversial Backup Service

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hmontaner.megafrost&hl=en_US
1•theaitch•48m ago
I created Megafrost because I didn't want to continue paying extortionate prices to keep a backup of my images and videos. For instance, Google Drive charges $20/year for 100GB but that is way more than what it actually costs. Google Cloud offers cheaper storage to businesses: Archive Storage costs $1.44/year for 100GB!

So I just made an Android app that wraps that Archive Storage and integrates with Google Pay. The complexity of Google Cloud is gone and any person can now take advantage of its low pricing.

The only catch is that once you need to restore any image or video, you have to pay for that separatelly. This is because Google Cloud charges for downloading traffic (not for uploading). But it's not really a problem because the gallery of the average user fits in the storage of a modern phones so you will only have to restore in case of disaster.

What are your thoughts? Would you be happy with this pricing model?
