For anyone else who was wondering what "80 Go" means, it's 80GB. It took me a few seconds to realize they're located in Paris and the French call their bytes "octets" -- hence, giga octets and tera octets. At first I thought it was something like "80 Go instances" where Go might be a cheap vps variant of theirs or something.

Amazon has always been extremely expensive in storage. I wanted to start a company doing online backups because every option was outrageously expensive. Like, so expensive I could just buy new disks and host them myself every 2 months for what they were trying to charge. (A disk lasts about 3 to 4 years, so that's a >2000% profit margin.) Only Backblaze had unlimited storage for 5 dollars a month, but I wanted to upl…
Re Blackbaze B2, what other issues can you think of?

I tried to use B2 recently but was being forced to enter a phone number. Waiting for a response from support, but so far that's blocking me from using B2. I don't know if C14 is better or not.
Yev from Backblaze here -> We require a 2FV for Backblaze B2 for added security - it's not for sales purposes, but for our 2FV implementation.

Can anyone with direct and frequent experience with Amazon Drive comment on how well the product's been working out for them overall? I've just been playing with its interface a little bit, and although its interface is unquestionably pretty clunky (both web and desktop app), it does seem like a I could save money by moving to its $60 unlimited plan. I currently use a set of S3 buckets, which is great in that it scal…
I've been fairly happy with it... though I'm not a heavy user. I've mostly used it to backup pictures and email. I use rclone ( http://rclone.org/ ) for my syncing email backups. It also supports a bunch of other storage backends, so it may be worthwhile checking out. Edit: Rclone works from both Linux and the commandline... so it's extremely useful for serverside backups.

I wonder what the details of the SLA are. I can't find them on the page.

What is 2FV (two factor verification, I assume), is it another name for 2FA (two factor authentication)? If so, what kind of verification is it used for? In any case, thanks for responding here!

What is the difference between "standard" and "enterprise"? Typically I expect to see something extra in return for the extra cost of the enterprise offering.
