Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage Reviews

   The best affordable S3 storage out there

   At SnapShooter we are no stranger to data. Our customers love using B2 for storing their backups, we love storing our backups there too.

   The API works perfectly conforming highly with the AWS S3 API. Making integration a breeze.

   If you measure for just data B2 comes out clearly on the top with SnapShooter customers for backup storage, things like MySQL Backups, File backups and database backups.

   My only comment that is negative is sometimes uploading can be a little slow.

   🏁 Competitors: Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi

   👍 Pros:    Great value for the money

   👎 Cons:    Could be slow

You will find out that you will prefer jumping to navigation when you're familiar with the concept. Source: about 2 years ago

I open sourced my build system for creating cross-platform desktop apps with it in minutes at https://build-system.fman.io/. 1: https://fman.io 2: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-in-2016/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Explorer: Move selected files into a new folder (like on MacOS)

  And for the record, I think over the years I learned to like Finder... I guess I like the sheer simplicity (I use fman) and started to love it back in OS 9 and those lovable purple hues :P. Source: about 2 years ago

• Non-Commercial Licenses Are Non-Free Licenses

  Fman by Matthew Herrmann https://fman.io From what I've gathered, success has been mixed. Duplicacy seems to be doing well based on forum activity and release history. Fman never made much money. If I recall correctly the Fman author was turned off by the number of people who criticized it for being fully open-source and wished he'd stuck with a closed-source full commercial model. I'd like for the open-source... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
