It's very usable. Very easy and cheap.
The CLI tool is very good too

Yep their storage price is stupidly cheap. It's just storage. If you need you could pay them to ship you a drive too.

I thought AWS S3 was like $0.02/GB/mo when I was checking. So at that price with the initial upload of 1TB, plus a monthly upload of 1TB, I'm still not coming remotely close to $1,700/year.
Any idea how they are factoring that pricing? Was looking here: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

Yes, it is really this cheap. The only difference is they charge $5 per terabyte. Speed is okay.

@BBigford Amazon S3 does not tell you how much expense you do when you download from their server data. So say put an amount of data going out on any of the S3 or Glacier services and you will see your monthly payments go up substantially.

"We are thrilled to announce that, effective immediately, we are reducing the price of Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage downloads from $0.05 to $0.02 per GB. What’s more, the first gigabyte of data downloaded each day is still free."
That last sentence, great! I didn't know they already let you download the first GB free, does any other provider offer the same sort of thing?
