Could this be used for something like S3 for uploading images and serving them in an app or website? Like are there options for signed url uploads?

#22Speaking of this, does anyone know about any local backups for Linux with a nice GUI? I turned into a GNOMie and don't want to spend time with commandline options to figure it out. I tried APTIK but it flat out didn't work.

#23Would be cool to back this to decentralized cloud storage (should be pretty easy to do via Storj S3 integration): https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-aws-sdk...
Or even Restic directly: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/backup-with-restic/

#24If this would allow me to check my files in a simple web UI (no need for collaboration or anything), and create share links for low-volume downloads I could just leave Google Drive permanently.

It probably isn't quite what you are looking for, but have you ever tried Syncthing? It doesn't have enough features to be an actual backup solution, but it is nice if you just want another copy of your files somewhere else

Ah sadly that probably won't happen soon. All the data is encrypted with your master password (password manager style) and that master password isn't transfered to the server. So you'd have to use the desktop client to access your files.

[Pika Backup](https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gnome.World.PikaBackup/) is a simple and well-designed GTK frontend for borg IMO

#28> I actually really like Backblaze (even use B2 for this offering behind the scenes)
B2 is $5/tb, you are charging $9 for 5tb? How does that work? Do the old versions count towards the quota?

deja-dup. I even believe this is installed by default on distros.

#30My problem: I just want to back up 5 terabytes. It's on an external SSD, used for photos. Backblaze has forgotten how to count terabytes at all, preferring to play games about how I need to have it attached and for how long, so people don't play games with their "unlimited" offering. "Did you plug in the external drive to a computer, and leave the computer on for 24 hours without it going to sleep, and reattach the d…
Backblaze also supports that pricing model with B2, which is a fixed cost per gigabyte stored per month. B2 also has an S3 compatible API, which lets you use any backup software you want.
This. I use B2 to backup my NAS and it costs me a couple dollars a month. 5TB will cost you $25/month.
The only way I know to go cheaper is Glacier “deep archive” storage which is roughly $1/TB, but a pain to manage, access time is measured in hours and it might cost 100x more in egress fees to download it all.
