The data fees cover all the storage, data transfer, and other operating costs associated with running your business on the cloud-based Portal. Data fees are calculated in USD, as Google uses this currency to calculate the cost of the data transferred from its servers.
The data fee is initially charged at $15 USD per GB (this works out to approximately $1.50 for an average photoshoot or $5 for a video). These costs are partially offset as you build a business over time (by the Post-Production Services you use), allowing the price to be reduced on a sliding scale the more jobs you complete in a month.
To help manage your data charges, you may choose to compress your RAW files by following the process in this article.
