    Backblaze
    Providing the option of purchasing a much longer archive if desired or limiting the length of time in maintaining what's been saved is brilliant. It makes all the sense in the world. At the very least, unless the retention period is clearly mandated somehow, it causes a decision maker (especially a small business owner) to think strategically about what the storage needs truly are.

    Cubby is great to just drop a file in and share it with another user

    Cons
    Backblaze
    • My chief complaint about the former lack of S3 compatibility was resolved so I have no complaints now.
    • Please keep egress free!

    • Since we are already a LogMeIn Rescue customer we are a fan of their products. We really do not see a lot that Cubby does not do for us that we need to do.
    • It would be nice to have a built-in password manager/keeper to share using the Cubby cloud storage. Users can share files in a secure manner, so why not be able to share passwords with them securely as well.

    Since Backblaze added S3 compatibility a few years ago, it's become the most perfect online backup solution.
    I also like their transparency in describing their platform and the reports of hard drive reliability are very interesting.
    The free egress is priceless, too.

    The LogMeIn company has always been very helpful and quick to respond to all of our support requests and just "how to" question we may have.

    Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is the best of the bunch. It's priced better than the more expensive cloud based solutions and more robust than the file storage sites like Dropbox or Google Drive.

    Cubby is especially new in the market and is contemplating its business focus. They have adapted what their predecessors have created and implemented significant improvements in safety, performance and availability.

    Return on Investment
    Backblaze
    • Difficult to quantify the peace of mind Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage services provides.
    • Based on the reported experiences of other Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage clients, recovery has been smooth. We have not yet had the need to use that function.
    • Because Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage's service has been seamless, I feel much more confident in their ability to deliver what they promise when we have the need to expand or enhance what we are purchasing from them.

    • [As a consultant, for my business] It is always good to have options and alternatives. Customers appreciate having sources to compare, and that define sales.
    • If we talk about version control in general, Cubby lightens the time we spend and helps us to organize the work. Less lost time equals higher profits.
