  I've been with MT for ages, 12+ years, I think.

  I am finally getting really tired of them being so far behind the competition (this time it is the 100GB limit on the grid service).

  Any suggestions for a (very) cheap FTP and/or storage service? Need to transfer/store very large files.

  (I'd love to leave MT altogether at this point, but it'll be a process, so something I could use for the large files would make it easier)

  Never used them myself, but what about the 1&1 Unlimited Business Plan for $10mo?

  Some vaguely smart motherfucker should've started up a QBN-related hosting service years ago. If those Happy Cog motherfuckers can charge gazillions, imagine how much someone could've rung out of us putses.

  MT excluded, obviously.

  Hm. Censorship might've felled that in the old days - now?

  I use http://www.synology.com their backup systems and NAS
  Are you providing a service to customers?
  or its for your own personal site?

  100GB is a lot of storage.

  I'd say keep MT for professional and then find an inexpensive backup/storage host where you can "dump" your backups, etc.

    Who's offering hosting with more than 100gb at GS pricing? My VS only has 50gb.– ETM2/2

  Dreamhost and GoDaddy and a bunch of other ones that escape me at the moment have unlimited storage for about $6-8/month.

  It isn't for backups, it is for current projects (using Carbonite for online backup). I need to exchange large video and 3D files, so 100GB goes very, very quickly.

  Does anyone use a FTP service that has some type of interface that could be accessed by clients, if need be?

  I would suggest a NAS or SAN with Raid capability. Depends on how valuable your data is too back up ...Raid 2 drives or Raid 3 to 4 cause you never know... I would go for quality drives, something made in japan.
  IF you are going to place your FTP over the net then security is a consideration.
