Backup / Online-hosting recommendations?

I'm currently a bit scattered with how I'm backing up & posting my recordings. As-is, I'm saving everything to an external SSD (that's about to be full). It does what it's supposed to, but I definitely want some redundancy.

Beyond that, I post shows via the archive, sometimes on bt.etree, or via mega/mediafire links. I'd like to find something online that serves as both as a personal archive, and that gives me links to share. Not even sure if having something that would allow streaming is doable, but that would be nice too!

Obviously free/cheap is good, but dependability/ease of use are important.

Any suggestions are welcomed!

I don't have online backup recommendations, but I just want to mention that SSDs are not good for archival.

vs a standard backup drive? Why's that?

well that sucks. Figured I was doing the right thing after multiple failed HDD's in my past...
