Well, you could always put on a tin foil hat and go completely off grid.

We’ve built our archive solution on Google Cloud Blob Storage, with a custom frontend and an SQL-based indexing system that registers jobs during upload. Our solution has been in production for around eight years and has proven to be very reliable, secure, and straightforward to maintain. Our...
