DO offers space and I can get my own space from them.
TL;DR: DO offers MySpace.
I'm waiting for Facebyte, myself.
I don't understand why they charge the base rate? I have been testing it during the beta and it works really well and the UI is slick, but even AWS isn't charging a base rate.
The base rate is kinda meh, I'm currently at ~50GB (somewhat slowly growing) which would cost around $1 if there wasn't the $5 minimum.
I have confirmed with them that traffic to droplets in the same region is free (like AWS) so that's neat. But I wonder if they actually charge for object storage transfer in the first place.
Then there wouldn't be 1TB transfer provided with the plan. You okay with paying as you go at $10/TB for transfer, with none included?
(I guess some would be, but personally I want my expenses predictable and would instead choose an unmetered VPS or dedi).
Pricing is 400% higher than Backblaze B2, although outbound transfer cost is half. I guess it's dependent on if you're just storing a lot of data versus needing to distribute it too.

/lock please @jarland.
Basically everyone is more expensive than B2, they're amazing. Real benefit here is needing your data closer to your server.
This, Backblaze can't compete here and it's more important to have the data close.
Is it also billed hourly? That would make it interesting for processing a large file for a few days
Take this with a grain of salt, but I believe the storage usage is averaged over the month. I'll dig into the code later or ask one of the devs when I get a chance.
Edit: Confirmed. Averaged for the month.
1c/1GB is too expensive. Anyone has another option for this type of storage? I am in need of distributed storage like google cloud with about 50GB storage and 3T transfer a month. I also need direct link to my file. Currently, I am using @liteserver, their service is very good but sometime it takes a little long time to deliver my file from EU to North America. Thanks!
Since my use case barely has any outbound transfer the included 1 TB don't really matter to me.
