C=E2=80=99mon=E2=80=A6 read the web site:

I=E2=80=99m beginning to feel like an Amazon salesperson. = It=E2=80=99s _archival_ storage. It is not Dropbox. It=E2=80=99s = not designed for stuff you need to access often.

 

=E2=80=9CGlacier is designed = with the expectation that retrievals are infrequent and unusual, and = data will be stored for extended periods of time.

If you choose to retrieve more than this amount of data in a = month, you are charged a retrieval fee starting at $0.01 per = gigabyte.=E2=80=9D

 

So, yes, if you=E2=80=99re using it as normal cloud storage = it=E2=80=99s possibly expensive at .12/gb for data retrieval. If = you=E2=80=99re using it to store projects that are done and delivered = and may never need to accessed again (or you need access to once in a = blue moon) then it=E2=80=99s very reasonable. There=E2=80=99s no = indication you=E2=80=99re charged for a =E2=80=98job=E2=80=99 beyond the = data transfer fees.
