Wow!!! DO being a favorite of mine, I will definitely try to explore this. My concern, however, is what about the bandwidth between DO and Backblaze? How would that count/work?
Bandwidth into both B2 and DigitalOcean is free, bandwidth OUT of them is metered (or in the case of DO you get a bucket of bandwidth to start and then it's metered past that bucket).
Also there appears to be no way in the dashboard of DO to see bandwidth usage. I don't know where they say it's metered after that, because they just slowed down the speed severely when my server went over, rendering it useless for its purpose without warning.
- For my high-storage requirements I rent a dedicated Hetzner server with 2x3TB disks for around 30 euro/month [2]
