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!

Yes, that’s how I do backups

Do you create one large binary blob or do you encrypt each file separately?

separately, that’s how I can maintain partial backups. The rclone crypt stuff is good at keeping track on huge amounts of files quickly
