Anyone got any alternatives?
I started looking into it, but I'm concerned there won't be a 1:1 equivalent.

And yet, your blog/landing site wants me to opt into sharing my 'personal data' with 20 different 'advertisement partners'. Come on.

#23I wish I hadn't put my PII into the filenames of the files I was backing up.
myname_myaddress.txt 4445-3333-2222-1213-0121-354.my.credit.number NW53342211A.my.national.insurance.number facebook_password_is_letmein.txt filename_are_now_storage.exe I_vote_for_trump.doc Now this is public I bet there's hundreds of facebook team members sifting through all of that log data to find this PII and manually transcribe it into my facebook account.

#24"Facebook has confirmed that all data inadvertently sent has been deleted"
"We have added protections to prevent this error occurring again"
Those sentences do - not - appear.

You are totally right what info could leak a files named:
ClinicWhereTheyReattachYourJunkWhenItFallsOff_procedureOverview.txt, ClinicWhereTheyReattachYourJunkWhenItFallsOff_invoice.pdf and ClinicWhereTheyReattachYourJunkWhenItFallsOff_WhatWentWrongWithYourJunkBeGratefulYouHadTheChanceToSayGoodbye.rtf ..
It's the old debate on the fact that filenames might be kinda sensitive.

I would say that opt in is pretty Ok in terms of privacy of customers protection.
Re: Backblaze Privacy Update: Third-Party Tracking
#27So they posted a blog before informing their customers directly?
They had time to write, post and update, and I am still not seeing any emails about it

In certain countries just possessing a file or app of a certain title could get you killed...
edit: On further thought, would this have triggered China's firewall?
Re: Backblaze Privacy Update: Third-Party Tracking
#29Firstly, this post does not even mention or describe what kind of information was exposed and makes it seem like some inadvertent tracking that's not serious in any way. You can continue with your root cause analysis, but you already know very well about what kind of information was exposed and shared with Facebook. The least you could do is own it and alert people about it. > We take the privacy of our customers’ da…
on tv at least, they say that apology is the same as admitting guilt, so they might not want to do that for legal reason

#30I've been a happy Backblaze B2 user for the past few months, but this and another recent event leaves me feeling like I'll have to abandon their service (or at least mirror everything to S3 just-in-case) soon. Recent event being when GoDaddy suspended their user-facing B2 domain a month ago because of abuse requests that were apparently not handled correctly. That and the fact that they still don't have a user-facing status dashboard to communicate the status of their systems has me worried.
