      I could justify the AU$30 per month for myself and my housemate, but at AU$43, they can GAGTGF.

        GAGTGF?
        I have no idea what this means, but I feel like it’s probably something I’d like in my back pocket to pull out and throw in someone’s face…kinda like pocket sand.

          I tried to take a stab at it, but I’m coming up empty.

          GAGYGF is Go And Get Your Guts F… GAGTGF substitutes “Your” for “Their”. “GagyGoof” does roll off the tongue a bit better than “GagTeeGoof”.

      I use Hetzner’s Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper… like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.

        Why not just get the storage box and run the Nextcloud instance with the storage box mounted? Just curious.

          You should be able to do that, you’d just need to set up and maintain the Nextcloud instance yourself :)
