At the moment it's just Azure. Azure's API is special as mentioned by other comments. That said, I've tried PUT-ing directly the Azure but quickly discovered that Azure actually has an ingress(!) quota on bytes, not requests like S3 or S3-likes I've seen before. I have not implemented a S3 target yet. I might try. I'm particularly interested in targeting Cloudflare R2 as a temporary staging area so I can download the takeout files via a resumable or bulk download manager for a local backup without heavy bandwidth costs. AWS S3 also has their own competitive Archive tier too. Maybe keep an eye on https://github.com/nelsonjchen/gargantuan-takeout-rocket/issues/7 https://github.com/nelsonjchen/gargantuan-takeout-rocket/iss...

> Azure's API is special Yes, so is Wasabi. It doesn't charge you for ingress/egress data, so there is a clear cost advantage over similar services. Disclaimer: I'm a Wasabi official partner in Brazil.

  In another branch of replies, it does not appear there is an API to do transfers. Just a transfer tool. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34904775 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34904775 . Nothing about any deviations from the S3 API for transloading or an API offered. As for that special-ness you've mentioned, Wasabi is actually falling behind on that "charge you for ingress/egress" point since has a serious asterisk. One of the reasons I'm far more interested in Cloudflare R2 for a possible future temporary staging platform for local downloads is because it's genuine not "charge you for ingress/egress" as Wasabi says "don't egress more than you have stored" or we'll ban you. R2 does not have that limitation there. In fact, I've used it to serve a 28GB file that have been downloaded many, many times with only 28GB stored in R2. Such a thing is against Wasabi's use and the threat makes it unsuitable for GTR. As for cost, like a final destination, there is no option to do Deep Glacier or Archive tier like on AWS or Azure. It is significantly more expensive.
