OLRC Ontario Libraries Research Cloud (https://cloud.scholarsportal.info/) offers large-scale data storage for a cost.

Internet Archive (https://archive.org) is a general-purpose archive of information — a multimedia library — that can be used by anyone. Documents, data, or audio/video material can be published and should be available long-term.
