hello i'm looking for a place to store 1 terabyte [and growing] of photographs in the cloud.
am i correct that at $.12 per GB per month, this would cost me $1440 a year?

Hi David,

Yes, that's correct:  $.12/GB * 1,000 GB * 12 months = $1440/year would be your storage charge, however, depending on your usage, there could also be network and request charges (billing details).

Hi David,

Google Cloud Storage is a developer product.  You probably want to look at our consumer offerings -- Picasa Web Albums or Google Docs.  Both of these products will give you free storage quota and will meet your requirements for backing up your photos.  1TB in our consumer offering would be $256/year.  See more details here - https://accounts.google.com/b/0/purchasestorage
