My very small company (think me and one other person) collects video data for scientific analysis. We typically put the videos on external hard drives for each survey we do. A typical survey will run about 4TB in size. We always make a back up external drive so that we have two copies in case of loss etc. We do at least a dozen surveys a year.

We would like to back all of this up in the cloud. We will need to access the videos from the cloud from time to time but not on a frequent basis.

So first question, what do you fantastic data hoarders recommend as a good cloud storage service?

Second question, given the sheer size of the project, uploading from my business internet account (Spectrum/ northern Michigan) seems like a Sisyphean task. Can anyone recommend any way to increase upload speed (I am on max local program) or if there is a service that will upload rapidly for me if I send them hard drives?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for rookie questions.
