For $24 a month you can even get an expensive vpn

For 24$ a month you can get a good enough VPS to stream Terabytes of movies with jellyfin.

Even if you take away the money a vpn costs, you still can have a decent vps with decent storage.

If you only need storage, even better. Found an offer for a "Storage VPS" with low hardware specs and 2TB of HDDs for 10€/monthly
