50TB is a lot of data. Do you actually have it right now, or are
you projecting into the future? How are you storing it?

What then are your goals for cloud storage? The main issue you are
facing is that 50TB is a pretty huge amount of personal user data by
today's standards, so any commercial offering is going to be expensive.

If all you require is access to your data when you are out and about,
and you do currently have always-on Internet at home, you could build a
cheap server, attach your existing USB storage to it, and serve it with
owncloud or something.

Downsides:

- USB storage kind of sucks

- Now you are a sysadmin, congrats

- Maybe your domestic Internet service provider isn't up to the task of
  serving a lot of data

Upsides:

- Access to your data from where you have Internet for a relatively
  modest one off purchase and some sysadmin work.

- Your personal data can stay physically where it is, so no months-long
  upload session.

Depending on what your actual use case is there are many other reasons
why this may not be suitable.

If I had 50TB of valuable personal data I'd also be worrying about how
it's backed up.

Cheers,
Andy

This sometimes goes by the (IMO stupidly misleading) name of “personal
cloud”, but “cloud” is a useless word for all of this. It's simply an
always-on server for file storage and maybe some other services.

When the primary purpose is network-attached file storage, as the
original poster is requesting, the term to search for is Network
Attached Storage (NAS).

In other words, it's what used to be quite normal for many people,
before the internet was centralised :-) and is a great step to
re-decentralising the net [0]. One downside is, as pointed out earlier,
you must (yourself, or convince someone else to) take on the job of
system administrator for your network.

There is a good free-software-respecting hardware solution for building
a bare-bones server for running at a home or small office, the GnuBee
<URL:https://www.crowdsupply.com/gnubee/>.

It runs a full-blown GNU+Linux operating system under your full control,
so you could set it up to also run services along the line of nextCloud
or the like.

I haven't seen backblaze mentioned here - 6$/mo for unlimited cold storage.
Files are accessible from a browser, and they can ship you hard drives in a
disaster recovery situation.

Backblaze costs .005/GB/Month which would be about $250/Month for 50,000GB.
