The bandwidth used to upload data is going to be around 1% more than the size of the data (protocol overhead). So to a close approximation the cost of the bandwidth for uploading is going to be the same as the cost of a month of storage.


That's for the initial upload, right? (And then incremental updates should typically be much smaller.)


Yes. (Although even with incrementals, until you start deleting data your total bandwidth usage to date will be roughly the same as your current monthly storage.)
