Sorry. I read $50/month... My bad.

They give G Suite basic users 30 GB of storage, but if you try to put tens of GB in it, you can only pull that all down a few times a month before that user’s account gets locked.  That happened to us with one user that kept blowing up his laptop, requiring a rebuild, and thus a re-download of the entire IMAP archive he insisted on keeping in the cloud.

True.

OP should check if their university already offers G Suite. Most 
colleges in US do, and they come with unlimited storage (with all the 
shortcomings you mentioned above).
