I tried it a while back, maybe it was just me being stupid but I found no CLI, or decent tool for the API. Ended up giving up because the barrier to entry was too high. I'd suggest they work on tooling.

Don't they use Swift API for which lots of tooling is available? EDIT: And Backblaze B2 invented their own API, so no tooling at all.

  I think by "decent tool" they meant "decent wrapper program" rather than "tooling for programming with the API".

  They do, and there is a CLI tool provided by OpenStack themselves: https://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/swift.html https://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/swift.html

  Guess I must be blind then. Are there any sync programs which work with it?

  > Backblaze B2 invented their own API, so no tooling at all. At first that was true, but now we have a list of 3rd party tools you can use. Check the list out here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html Here is a sample from that web page: CloudBerry, Rclone (mount B2 as a hard drive on your desktop), Synology (this is a NAS drive), Retrospect, Cantemo, Cubix, Cyberduck, Duplicacy, Duplicity Linux, HashBackup, NyNAS, NeoFinder, Odrive, Qbackup, SmartFTP
