It’s nice to have the option, but I feel like 20GB doesn’t really do much. Especially if it’s for storing photos.
It could be nice if they could set a $/GB price, so I could customise the amount of storage instead.
It's for people who need more than 5GB but not 200GB. People in the developing world, or lower income brackets, who can't afford 5-10 USD a month, or people who transfer photos offline instead of keeping their entire camera roll in the cloud.
they probably slice up drives. What you're recommending would probably lead to wasted disk space.
I doubt it, it's probably more efficient (and cheaper) to use some sort of object storage method and store each file as an encrypted blob
