### Example Cloud Storage Tiering Strategy

Source: https://rcloneview.com/support/blog/hidden-cloud-storage-costs-save-money-rcloneview

This example outlines a strategy for moving data to cheaper storage tiers over time, starting with cloud providers that offer included storage and moving to lower-cost options with predictable egress.
