Backblaze B2

B2 speaks S3 through its own endpoint. Two things trip people up: the master application key does not work with the S3 API, and buckets created before May 2020 are not S3-enabled. Create a fresh bucket and a regular application key.

  • Access key and secret
  • Bucket name
  • Region like us-west-004

Steps

  1. Sign in at secure.backblaze.com, open Buckets and choose Create a Bucket. Keep it private.
  2. On the bucket card, find the Endpoint. It looks like s3.us-west-004.backblazeb2.com. The middle part, us-west-004, is your region.
  3. Open Application Keys and choose Add a New Application Key.
  4. Name the key, restrict it to the bucket you made, and set access to Read and Write. Leave file name prefix empty.
  5. Copy the keyID and applicationKey. The applicationKey is shown once. The keyID is your Access Key ID and the applicationKey is your Secret Access Key.

Next: open Allmount and pick Backblaze B2. If something does not work, see troubleshooting.
