Hi! I’m looking for a good cloud storage provider for my backups. I will encrypt them locally and rclone them, so integration is important. I’ve been looking through reddit, and every single provider has something behind their ears (closes accounts, scans files, sketchy, blah blah blah), so I’m having a bit of an analysis paralysis.

Free tier would be ideal. I don’t need a lot of space, just a few GBs. Thanks :)

Backblaze will only charge you for what you use. So 1TB is $6 per month, but 500GB is $3

Yep, I went with Backblaze and Mega as secondary.

Hetzner Storage Box and rsync.net are the best because can work like a normal storage, super simple. Hetzner is cheaper while rsync.net have better managment (no-javascript panel, normal 22 port, normal installation of ssh keys).

I’ve been using Hetzner with borg for a while now and it’s been super solid, can’t be beaten price wise either as far as I’ve looked

Same here! 10gb free is more than enough for the volumes I mount on my containers with config, etc

That’s on my todo list. So far backing up several machines, including some from my family.

Backblaze b2 and rsync.net (which shouldn’t be a problem for rclone)

Neither is sketchy in the slightest and run solid services with many options.

Backblaze, very cheap if you rarely recover the data

If we’re talking about Backblaze B2, downloads are free for 3x your average stored amount of data IIRC, so most recoveries would be free.

You could also pull all out through cloudflare and then it should be completely free
