Backblaze B2 vs other storage providers to store legally ripped media (lemmy.world)

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!

I wrote a WebDAV server you can use as the frontend for it that can encrypt everything you upload.

There’s something I’m using that Backblaze doesn’t support, so I’m fixing that right now.

Edit: Ok, I fixed the issue and updated it on Docker. It now works with Backblaze. It’s a bit slow, but I’m not sure if that’s just my connection or Backblaze.
