Hey guys! I am in the middle of migrating 200+ terabytes of data from dropbox to box. Me trying to get this done as fast as possible thought it would be a good idea to spin up a azure VM with a 20TB HD and just download 20TB onto the VM and then Upload that 20TB to box. (using filezilla for this) But me being new to this stuff did not realize the charge for upload bandwidth would be so high. Basically $100 per terabyte going out of azure. Is there a better way I can do this? Maybe I can get a VM somewhere else that does not have such high egress fees? Thank you for your input!
