I don't know Wasabi well enough to comment, but GTR uses Azure because of its unique(?) ability to do cloud-initiated fetches, versus "download to my computer, upload to the S3 endpoint" that every other cloud storage API uses. All of the words you haven't read yet were about trickery to exfiltrate the signed Takeout URLs so that Azure's blob storage could fetch them (along with some Cloudflare Worker trickery to work around some kind of bugs in Azure) So, I guess the TL;DR (heh, quite literally in this case) is that if Wasabi allows you to download something like an Ubuntu ISO to Wasabi storage by giving it the ISO URL from your phone, it'll likely work for you. Otherwise, you're back in the VPS setup TFA was seeking to avoid

Thanks for the "extended" TL;DR =) Wasabi allows cloud-to-cloud migrations[1]. Disclaimer: I'm an official partner in Brazil. [1] https://wasabi.com/cloud-migration-tools/ https://wasabi.com/cloud-migration-tools/

  That was an objectively terrible blog post. But, because I was curious, I actually went digging into the docs for it and it seems that "WCSM" only supports fetching from S3 Compatible origins, which those pre-signed Takeout URLs are not: https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/wcsm-for-data-migration https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/wcsm-for-data-migration Hypothetically one could trick the Cloudflare workers into exposing those Takeout URLs under fake GetObject request-response handshake, but ... what a lot of work just for Wasabi

    I don't see any documentation about an API here at all. It's just yeah we support these sources for our transfer tool and contact our team for them. From the outside it's a lot closer to the storage transfer job stuff I've seen on GCP and yet also kind of far as it's gated behind those infernal "talk to our team" for access gates.
