Understanding GB-month pricing

Priya Nair1 min read

Most storage plans make you guess. You pick a "500 GB tier" and then either waste what you don't use or scramble when you run out. Space bills differently, by the GB-month.

What is a GB-month?

A GB-month is exactly what it sounds like: one gigabyte, stored for one month.

That means the same pack stretches to fit however you actually store:

  • 100 GB-months = 100 GB for 1 month
  • 100 GB-months = 10 GB for 10 months
  • 100 GB-months = 50 GB for 2 months

Same price, every time. You're only ever paying for the storage you actually use over time.

A quick example

Say you buy the 400 GB-months pack. If you store a steady 40 GB, that pack lasts you roughly 10 months before you need to top up. Store less, and it lasts longer. Store more, and it's used up sooner. Simple.

Archival is 4× cheaper

For files you rarely touch — backups, old projects, cold data — switch them to archival storage and the same GB-months cost a quarter as much. Retrieval takes minutes instead of being instant, which is a fair trade for data you're keeping just in case.

No lock-in, ever

Packs never expire while your account is topped up, and you can move data between standard and archival whenever you like. No subscriptions to cancel, no surprise renewals.
