FWIW, Cloudberry to Amazon S3 works nicely, and super cheap (I guess this is relative -- ~9 cents per GB). I believe Jungledisk does something similar.

Of course, S3 is unlimited too, but the pricing model is different. With multi-part upload and large object support (up to 5TB IIRC), I think it's a pretty good option.

I don't think anyone is arguing that if you're willing to pay per GB you can't get as much storage as you want, just that providing unlimited storage for a small fixed price is not sustainable.
