> [1] Looking it up, storing 45TB would end up costing anywhere between $250-$1500 a month pretty easily, which I currently cannot justify.

Or about $5k one-off at pCloud, which is still a big investment. (No affiliation, just a customer.)

I personally still don't understand how actual online services (like storage) can work with one-off licenses.

Actually had I known about this two years ago, I would have considered pCloud; as it stands I bought 24x16TB used hard drives, about 288TB after RAID. That was like a $2600 investment that I don't really want to get rid of now unless I can find something considerably cheaper per-month.
