If you are a user who just wants to store backups in the cloud, due to the cost and simplified pricing, Backblaze B2 is one of the best options out there along with Wasabi.Nice, but why should I use it over the competition? As of today, Backblaze only has two data centers in North America, although they have plans to build more.For the implementation below I had to make manual requests, which it’s not ideal I miss SDKs for different programming languages.They have an API Reference, but it’s a bit lacking in comparison with Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage It doesn’t have extensive documentation.As part of the Free layer, users receive for free 10GB, forever.
If you ever need to restore your files locally, Backblaze offer the possibility to receive by mail an external disk with all your data (extra costs might occur). They provide a command-line tool (b2) for uploading/downloading data from the terminal. It takes advantage of the Backblaze Vaults architecture to spread the data evenly in 20 different Storage Pods. Backblaze B2 provides 99.999999% (8 9’s) of durability of objects over a given year. 
That simplifies significantly what other providers offer (e.g., “extra costs” or “retrieval time”)
Every file you upload is going to be available to download instantly. The first 1 GB of downloads per day is free. That’s it there’re no different storage classes Please let me know if there are any mistakes :) Pros I tell you, Backblaze B2 is one of the best providers out there.ĭisclaimer: Prices and features change all the time. In fact, I haven’t been able to find a Provider with lower prices for storing “Frequently Used” data. Backblaze B2 might not be as well known as other services like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage, but its features in comparison with its pricing make it an outstanding choice.
