If 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.
Consider using https://wetransfer.com for one off transfers.
My goto tool for secure backups is tarsnap. He only supports S3 as far as I know so using B2 could be a good differentiator. Wonder if either of you will add support for cloudflares R2? https://www.tarsnap.com/
Speaking 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.

Interesting. I had not heard of restic, yet. My default backup choice has been borg[1] for a long time, so borgbase.com was a natural choice for off-site backups for me. They make Vorta a decent GUI client for borg - that's how I found out about them. Can someone here give a comparison of borg and restic by any chance? [1]: https://www.borgbackup.org/
Borg supports local and SFTP backups while Restic supports more (a lot more). S3, Google Cloud, B2, etc. In fact, they integrate with rclone so anything you can access using rclone, you can backup to using Restic. Borg uses compression while Restic does not. Restic just uses deduplication so your backups with Restic will likely be larger in size. Anyway, that's what jumps to mind. They're both pretty great honestly (…
EDIT: Some details on deduplication are here, and I'm puzzled as to why my backups are so big: https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/100_references.html?...
My 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…

Is there a Google Drive clone with encrypted backups? I love the usability of Google Drive (being able to access / make files offline whenever I want), but the Mac update started to force me to upload all my files, which I don't want to do, as the files are not encrypted.
