ShareX is a fantastic tool for Windows that enables screen capture, file sharing, and much more. I'd recommend checking out this post on the Backblaze Blog for more info. Note: While the method outlined in this blog post provides additional configuration and still works very well, you can accomplish an almost identical result using Cloudflare Transform Rules nowadays, and zero code. Fun fact: every image you see in this post is hosted using this method.

Alternatively, you could upload the media to a site like Imgur or Gyazo, but these sites are often plagued with advertisements, or compress your content causing quality reduction.

The results show “customers can point their existing workflows and tools at Backblaze B2 and not miss a beat”. During the trial, Backblaze recorded interactions with more than 1000 unique S3-compatible tools from multiple companies. Not convinced? The company is offering to pay AWS S3 egress fees for customers that migrate more than 50TB of data and keep it in Backblaze’s B2 Cloud Storage for at least 12 months.īackblaze added S3 API support in May this year and started a 90-day beta test in which, it says, thousands of customers migrated petabytes of data. Backblaze has launched an S3 compatible APIS for its B2 cloud storage, which it claims is 75 per cent cheaper than AWS.
