Plex cloud is officially dead you can’t use it with Amazon drive anymore so unless you’re willing to pay over $100 a month for anything over a terabyte of storage. This sucks I was really looking forward to using it and I have over 6 TB on Amazon drive right now
Each to their own, It would definitely still suit my needs 
…if I got an invite
Okay, you’re frustrated by Plex’s move. Plex team stated it was "a tough call’. Your numerous duplicates of posts and threads aren’t going to help.
120 a year will get you unlimited google drive either on your own in g suite unlimited or join one of the many groups around that have gotten together
Completely agree. Without Amazon drive there is no way I can afford to use it. This was going to be the coolest feature Plex had come out with. I was really looking forward to it.
If you don’t have 4 or more users G Suite unlimited isn’t unlimited. So it would actually cost $40 a month to get unlimited storage.
I need some technical support on PlexCloud. If I have five separate OneDrive accounts each with 1TB of storage, can I link them all to the same PlexCloud account/server?

No that is not possible
I’m a little confused. Looking at my electricity usage to run a local server is costing me around £6 a month (actually more as I have separate file storage and plex server boxes but I know not everyone does). Therefore it will be less than £4 a month extra to no longer purchase or maintain my own hardware, this seems like a deal!
I tried Amazon Drive as I, very recently, received a Plex Cloud beta invite but there seems to be a 12 or 13GB file size limit on Amazon as any file I tried to upload that size or larger simply failed.
As others have stated, the other cloud options are not practical on a price point.
Disappointed that we can’t use Amazon drive - especially as I’d signed up for it for that purpose - and I’ve just received a cloud beta invite! But I’ll keep amazon drive as a nice backup for my files - I feel it’s good value.
While waiting for the beta I’ve setup my own ‘plex could’ on a VM at work with a NAS drive. Luckily we are a cloud/web/ISP so we have the facility and it works just fantastic.
I’m thinking it might be better to ‘give up’ my plex cloud beta invite to someone who might want to use it with another storage provider (although I do have access to google drive so might use that to test in parallel)
so now where does one sign up for the google unlimited storage if its 130 a year no problem

130 a year seems high to me, ah well.

You probably should also add in the caveat of using GSuite in that manner runs contrary to what Google has laid out as its policies / pricing, so while it may work NOW, there’s no guarantee they won’t just start enforcing those same policies at a later time. Major one being the pricing; if they were to enforce what they have listed on their pricing page, it would be $50 per month for unlimited storage as you would be paying $10 per user and a minimum of 5 is needed for the unlimited plan. If you only want to pay the $10, then you would be restricted to 1TB (it is 1TB per user if below 5).
Just a thought here. Perhaps (the powers that be) PLEX could try and negotiate a special price for Plex Pass users for use of a clould service from one of these providers? For the storage provider it would certainly mean more business, and for PLEX, it would make the cloud option that much more attracttive.
It cant hurt to try right?
A lot of very bright minds on these forums pointed out from the beginning that this was not a sustainable business model and was doomed as something would have to give. The only surprise was how quickly they were proven right.
It’d be nice if these smart people and their insight weren’t so frequently dismissed, ridiculed, insulted, and so on. They have a solid track record.

Yes, and that has been pointed out in multiple places already.
Agreed. Current cloud solutions are just too expensive (Dropbox wants $700/year for unlimited storage). It owuld be great if Plex could negotiate a cloud solution with more than just one or a few terabytes of data.

If enough people make their feelings known, Plex may listen. It certainly worked recently when Evernote announced a change to their privacy policy: enough people kicked up a stink that Evernote changed the policy.
I would not be too quick to dismiss “numerous duplicates of posts and threads”.
