Chose Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage
Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is the best of the bunch. It's priced better than the more expensive cloud based solutions and more robust than the file storage sites like DropBox or Google Drive.

Chose Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage
Backblaze is definitely the cheapest and most cost effective out of the 6 other services I've used in the past.

For personal use, they are by and away the best service available. For business use, I believe they are a very strong contender to be the #3 guys behind AWS and Linode.

Though it offers fewer features than competitors, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage provides an affordable solution for backup and archiving. Its low cost storage acts as a backbone to many small-scale enterprises. However, where low latency in data transfer and more granular permissions over the data are required, in my experience, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage doesn't fit well.

  • To use vBoxx you have an interface as administrator. To add a user, you have to use another interface.
  • When you are accessing your files via the web (not via the sync folder on your laptop, pc or tablet), you have to download and upload the file, you can't change it without downloading it. Unless I don't know [how to do] it.

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage offers affordable pricing compared to its competitors. It's a no brainer storage solution for small scale enterprises. It is widely used for storage media and large object files that can be accessed across the globe. With all these, there is still some room for improvement over the features and the latency

Because they continuously had times they required updating the account and there were hiccups when that happened, over time, I became skeptical of their ability to keep my files secure. They were the first cloud backup storage company I had ever used and I stayed with them for almost two decades. Then it happened that we did have to do a recovery two different times because of hardware failures. It was anything but a smooth or complete recovery, and their price kept rising as their service declined. Hundreds of files were totally lost in the process. I guessed that among their strategies, it might well have been a re-focus on their part to build up their enterprise accounts and didn't seem to care about small business. I finally had enough and left them as a client.

Not used but evaluated: Dropbox (not secure enough + American servers) Google (not secure enough + American servers) OneDrive (not secure enough + American servers) Tresorit (is secure and has European servers) VBoxx won because of the availability by mail, chat and phone. That is the only thing that counts during emergencies.

Return on Investment
  • We haven't had any data loss situations yet, however I'm sure our ROI will be fairly high if we have to recover any data. Backblaze is in the insurance industry, not storage.
