OP - Backblaze Personal. May be like $1/extra per month than your budget. Unlimited IO and backup storage assuming you only need redundancy.

Still going to take a while on initial upload. (Sounds almost AWS Snowball like is what you need but too costly).

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.
