![]() ![]() I dropped it off at Brian Moses’s house, and it has been chugging along without much trouble for the past 10 months. I decided to spend about $290 for a Raspberry Pi 4 and a 14 TB Seagate USB hard drive. I’m OK with comparing to Google Drive pricing, though, because their prices are lower, and that makes things more of a challenge on my end! It would be more accurate for me to compare my costs to Dropbox, since that is the service I would actually use instead of Seafile. NOTE: Google Drive sync only works with third-party clients. ![]() That would have made my annual bill either $200 or $240. Dropbox was $120 per year for 2 TB of storage, and Google Drive was $100 for the same. The options for syncing that much data to a Dropbox-style are all rather costly. If my memory is correct, I was using right around 3.2 TB. In February, I took inventory of my total storage requirements.

This is my little #RaspberryPi Seafile server with its 14 TB drive. I was rapidly approaching the storage limits of my hosting provider, and there was a huge chunk of my video data that I wasn’t syncing, because I didn’t have anywhere near enough space available. There were two problems sneaking up on me this year. I stopped colocating that server hardware in 2018, shut down my old Seafile server, and I wound up paying another company to use their Seafile service. I originally started hosting my own Seafile server back in 2013. Back in February, I decided it was time to go back to hosting my own cloud storage again. ![]()
