Hi everyone,

I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn’t too big (about 2-3TB) that I’d like to store on the cloud since I’ll be moving in the future and don’t think I can handle multiple hard drives.

What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers?

Thanks!

For a short period of time, nobody will care, especially with almost zero traffic.

But for only up to 3tb, you can easily fit that on a single drive.

Hey on that 3tb thing… can I pick and choose folders or parts of folders from the backups?

Or, say, I want to move stuff around in folders… is that possible after the backup has reached them and is only visible to me through their web interface?

Depends a lot on what backup software you use. Blackbase B2 ist just an S3-like object storage service. It’s the underlying software stack of many different things, one of those can be backup software. They do have their own backup solution though. But in that case B2 is the wrong product for you to look at.
