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?
Definitely not the cheapest option. I should probably look at migrating somewhere else one of these days. At least it was easy to set up for my Synology NAS.
There’s something I’m using that Backblaze doesn’t support, so I’m fixing that right now.
Edit: Ok, I fixed the issue and updated it on Docker. It now works with Backblaze. It’s a bit slow, but I’m not sure if that’s just my connection or Backblaze.

What about compressing it into 7z password protected archives and uploading it to any good host like MEGA?
I don’t use b2, rather; I have a personal account. Backing up 3 computers and they’ve never said anything over years So. Yeah it’s fine
Until you need to use the backup and the process is like shit. And takes weeks to months.
I’ve got about 12 TB in Amazon Glacier. Granted, I’m using this as an offsite backup for my NAS, rather than regularly accessed for consumption.
That’s very expensive to recall. Glacier download prices are extremely expensive
Definitely not the cheapest option. I should probably look at migrating somewhere else one of these days. At least it was easy to set up for my Synology NAS.
I wrote a WebDAV server you can use as the frontend for it that can encrypt everything you upload.
