Is back blaze also the best option just for cloud storage without automatic backup ?
I don't think it does that

Compare prices but I know someone who has a box.com account that size and the price is reasonable

+1

But it would also depend on what service you really use. If your using Office Google Drive wouldn't make sense for you same with G- suite and OneDrive.

Same
At work we use iDrive, you don't get unlimited data but you can share the limits between multiple computers so it came out cheaper.

Pretty sure we had idrive when we were hit with a ransomware attack a few years ago.

1. They charge exorbitant overage fees and offer very poor visibility into what’s using up your backup quota.
2. Their point in time backup (critical for reviving data from a point in time before the attack began) was a waste of time.
3. We couldn’t successfully recover all files they claimed were backed up.

Make sure you test recovery scenarios and ensure that whatever backup solution you’re using works for you.
