> 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. Disclaime

  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.
