Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Individual files can’t exceed 10GB, and you can only upload 50GB per day. Verizon will continue to offer its group unlimited plan for $19.99 per month for up to five people, who each get their own cloud storage account.

They have a very strange definition of "unlimited", because those are some pretty significant "limits"... for an "unlimited" plan...

I mean for most people this should work fine but it seems they have no initial cap. So it is pretty likely it will take days or even weeks for many people to fully transition (or years when you are a data hoarder). Also I think a weekly or monthly limit would be better as it is pretty likely IMO that will occasionally need more than 50GB even as a rather casual user.
