      My god how big is your NAS/Server?

      It's in ATX tower case. 90TB is in Google Drive. Locally I have 4x2TB SSD in raidz pool.

      OK, that's seemingly less crazy.. but still - what the heck is your monthly bill for that?

      $12 flat, G Suite business. Unlimited storage.

      How do you get that? They want me to buy a minimum of 5 to get that.

      Buy just 1, they don't enforce 5 users minimum. You'll still get unlimited storage.

      Except it is also Google, and who knows how long they will keep the offer or even the service.

        G Suite is not going anywhere any time soon. They might as well kill Gmail if they are willing to discontinue G Suite. Unlimited storage has been there for years, and it's offered as a business service, it'd be pretty dumb to suddenly screw their business customers over. Microsoft and Amazon pulled that stunt before, although with non-business users, and I don't think it worked out too well for them. Everyone I've heard was using their storage services switched to G Suite.

          Google does it constantly with non-business customers. So if that's a fear for the others, it's a fear for them. And the lesson that they have learned is that... customers don't leave even when you do that.

            Ok, but what paid services has Google killed recently? I know they constantly do that with free services. Amazon and Microsoft were both charging for unlimited cloud drives, and at some point they told everyone to pound sand. Has Google done it with paying customers?

              I've used quite a few of their products and services but none were paid. Maybe there was something obscure, like Google Photos Print, that was paid, but everything else I recognize was free. Well, free as in free beer, I paid for it with my privacy.

                Can't remember the name, but they used to have this conferencing system and they phased it out while you paid for it on Google Suite. Only time I was ever subjected to the hell of being a G Suite customer and it was the worst. And a huge portion of our time working with it was all dealing with them discontinuing the parts that we needed.

                  Hangouts? Probably something older than that, we used Hangouts, and they replaced it with Meet.

                      They bought GrandCentral and turned it in to Google Voice. It was only ever really a call forwarding service, but had some pseudo trunking capabilities. That was "cancelled and supposed to be replaced by Hangouts, but was never fully cancelled. Now Hangouts is being/has been replaced by Google Meet. Again not all functionality is the same.

                        Anyone used Jellyfin?

                        I looked at it, but haven't set up a media server yet. I need to for our music collection.

                        Correction, installed it tonight. I'll load the music library into it overnight tonight.

                        scp keeps asking for my user password, so only 3/4 of the way uploaded. Just works. All music right now, so I don't know how transcoding will hit it (gave it 4 cores and 8GB RAM for now.)

                          I had never heard about it, so I added it to my Plex server. It's actually not bad as far as an interface goes. However, the metadata it pulled for my movie collection is horrendous. I turned that part off, lol.

                            My god how big is your NAS/Server?

                            It's in ATX tower case. 90TB is in Google Drive. Locally I have 4x2TB SSD in raidz pool.

                            OK, that's seemingly less crazy.. but still - what the heck is your monthly bill for that?

                            $12 flat, G Suite business. Unlimited storage.

                            How do you get that? They want me to buy a minimum of 5 to get that.

                            Buy just 1, they don't enforce 5 users minimum. You'll still get unlimited storage.

                            Except it is also Google, and who knows how long they will keep the offer or even the service.

                            G Suite is not going anywhere any time soon. They might as well kill Gmail if they are willing to discontinue G Suite. Unlimited storage has been there for years, and it's offered as a business service, it'd be pretty dumb to suddenly screw their business customers over. Microsoft and Amazon pulled that stunt before, although with non-business users, and I don't think it worked out too well for them. Everyone I've heard was using their storage services switched to G Suite.

                            G Suite has now been replaced / rebranded / reimagined to Workplace.
                            It looks like unlimited storage is gone from all plans except enterprise.

                            The $12 plan gives you 2TB of storage per user.

                                  I have one of these attached to my Plex and totally love it.

                                  SiliconDust HDHomeRun Scribe Quatro OTA DVR Recorder with 4 TV Tuners & 1TB of Recording Storage Equivalent to 150 Hours of Live TV - (HDVR-4US-1TB)

                                  It allows me to see all the local HD OTA channels while I am away.

                                        Existing users are usually grandfathered in, I know lots of people still on old G Suite plans. I proactively upgraded to enterprise for $20/mo few weeks ago. Still unlimited, and still really good value, and no minimum user requirements.

                                          G Suite is not going anywhere any time soon. They might as well kill Gmail if they are willing to discontinue G Suite. Unlimited storage has been there for years, and it's offered as a business service, it'd be pretty dumb to suddenly screw their business customers over. Microsoft and Amazon pulled that stunt before, although with non-business users, and I don't think it worked out too well for them. Everyone I've heard was using their storage services switched to G Suite.

                                          G Suite has now been replaced / rebranded / reimagined to Workplace.
                                          It looks like unlimited storage is gone from all plans except enterprise.

                                          The $12 plan gives you 2TB of storage per user.

                                          Existing users are usually grandfathered in, I know lots of people still on old G Suite plans. I proactively upgraded to enterprise for $20/mo few weeks ago. Still unlimited, and still really good value, and no minimum user requirements.

                                          Do you know if different users can have different levels? IE: One users is Enterprise, and another user just needs the free version (or has the free gone completely away now?)

                                            Yes. More than enough. I only use it for live TV.
