# Backblaze B2

## Links

https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage

## Steps

1. Create a Backblaze account [on this page](https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage). Credit card info _is not_ required. Backblaze B2 offers 10 GB of free storage.

2. Please be aware that, though B2 provides some free quota, **it may still cost you money if the usage of storage or api requests exceed a certain value!!!** Especially pay attention to the api requests!!!

3. Create a **bucket**, you can leave the default settings, or you can enable the encryption (which is different from what you can set in Remotely Save):

4. Copy `Endpoint`, eg. `s3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com` — it'll be used later.

5. Copy `bucketname` near the 🪣 icon (the "bucket icon") — it'll be used later.

8. Save `keyID` and `applicationKey` — they will be used later.

9. Go to Remotely Save settings in Obsidian and:

   - Choose `S3 or compatibile` in **Remote Service**:
   - Copy `Endpoint` from Backblaze (see 3. above) to `Endpoint` in Remotely Save
   - From `endpoint` take `region` (eg. `us-east-005`) and paste it in `endpoint` in Remotely Save
   - Copy `keyID` (see 7. above) to `Access Key ID` in Remotely Save
   - Copy `applicationKey` (see 7. above) to `Secret Access Key` in Remotely Save
   - Copy `bucketname` (see 4. above) to `Bucket Name` in Remotely Save
