Your own server is the best choice if possible. The cost of even mechanical hard drives has gone up so much, I'm not surprised people would turn to cloud solutions.

Yeah, I got in on it before the massive increases, I have a few spares too. I managed to get them on individual auctions. It's not going to pay for itself anytime soon, but nobody can delete my media now! Used enterprise drives are still an absolute steal for home servers.
