I am looking for cloud storage to backup 3TB files (photo, video, documents). Currently looking at Microsoft 365 Family cloud storage, $99/year, 6 accounts, 1TB each. If I want to backup all 3TB, I need to distribute to all 6 accounts because each account can only store maximum 1TB.
Then I learned about rclone union, which I can combine all 6x 1TB into a virtual storage group of 6TB. As I read, I need to add each account into rclone, then create a union.
Is anyone using this setup? Once setup is done, is it reliable? I mean that I can simply upload files using rclone to the union and rclone will manage, distribute the files among 6 accounts automatically. If there are reasons that I shouldn't do this, please tell me.
I don't have any experience with rclone before. So, please share your experience. Thank you.
Alternatively, I also think about getting storage box 5TB from Hetzner, but looking around at it's sub, getting a new account can be difficult.
