Is Backblaze B2 like OneDrive with GUI

Is Backblaze B2 cloud storage comes with GUI like OneDrive to upload download files?

Or at least web based GUI? Or is it a specialized storage like S3 (haven't used S3 but I guess it doesn't have a file manager to access files)

  • You can use https://cyberduck.io/ or https://s3browser.com/
    Backblaze also has a web GUI but I prefer desktop client for parallel uploads

  • Both B2 and S3 have web GUIs.

  • All the B2, S3 stuff I can't help but mention @yoursunny.
    P9 plan - push ups over ethernet. Jumbo frames welcome.

  • No. It has a web UI but it's mostly for usage with some client and it doesn't do suncing like OneDrive.

    B2 is more like S3 - designed to be used as object storage.

    Unline OneDrive, it doesn't have its own sync client that you can install and have it automatically sync files/folders to it. You'd need to use third-party software, like @quanhua92 mentioned.

    It does have a web-gui for you to create buckets and upload folders, but I personally wouldn't use it that way.

    Also, B2 does charge you to download your files.

    If you're looking for a simple solution to sync your files and store them in the cloud, I would stick to OneDrive, Gdrive, Dropbox, etc...

  • I suggest you use MinIO client to synchronize files.

  • Example:

    mc mirror --remove --overwrite .\localpath\ s3/remotepath

    why not signup and test it yourself to see if it meets your requirements? first 10GB of storage are free - plenty of room to test it.

    It seems Backblaze B2 is the cheapest when you consider the following:

    1. Pay as you go
    2. Ease of use
    3. Cost

    I found out that Scaleway Glacier is even cheaper but it is not easy to use.
