Can you expand on that? I store my backups on B2. Are you saying I can download all data via cloudflare without paying for B2 egress?

  Interested in this myself. There appears to be some sort of partnership between Backblaze and CloudFlare https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217666928-Using-Backblaze-B2-with-the-Cloudflare-CDN https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217666928-Using... https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010017893-How-to-allow-Cloudflare-to-fetch-content-from-a-Backblaze-B2-private-bucket https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010017893-Ho...

Does this have a limitation? Size or whatever ? I want something to store peertube videos and serve them. This sounds like too good to be true

  It is, you didn't step on a free video cdn. Cloudflare probits using video unless you're in Enterprise.

    but isnt that using b2 ? is there a specific prohibition ?
    - ddorian43 6y ago
      Yes. The specific prohibition is that you can't serve video from Cloudflare whatever your backend is (unless Enterprise account). You can read their tos or forum if you need.

  Cloudflare limits uploads to 100MB per HTTP request, download bandwidth is pretty much free.

Though it's always worth testing based on use case. I use B2 for backups, which works great. But when doing some testing with a more interactive load, I really didn't like how many timeouts I got.

If you're doing this more "quick and easy developer" style, Backblaze is definitely something worth following up. B2 would be way better for the cost ($0.005/gb). DO Spaces, Linode Object Storage and AWS S3 are all about the same price ($0.02/gb).
