Features
Creating Buckets
Choose File → New Folder to create a new bucket in the root of the browser.
Bucket names, notably:
- must be between 6 and 50 characters long;
- can only consist of alphanumeric characters or "-";
- are case insensitive;
- are globally uniques (i.e. across all Backblaze accounts);
- cannot begin with "b2-" (reserved for Backblaze use).
Private
Setting it to allPrivate means that every download requires an authorization token.
Public
Setting it to allPublic means that everybody is allowed to download the files in the bucket.
File Versioning
You can view all revisions of a file in the browser by choosing View → Show Hidden Files.
Authorized URL
Create an authorized URL to make files available publicly. Choose File → Share…. The shared URL expires in 7 days.
Large File Uploads
Files larger than 200MB are split into 100MB chunks and uploaded with multiple connections. The number of connections used can be limited using the toggle in the lower right of the transfer window.
Large uploads can be resumed when interrupted.
Unfinished large uploads
You can view unfinished large uploads in the browser by choosing View → Show Hidden Files.
Edit Bucket Type
New buckets are private by default, meaning that you need a bucket authorization token to download the files. You can allow public access to files by opening the ACL tab in the ''Info'' panel and choose Everyone → Read.
Edit Bucket Lifecycle Rules
Retries for failed file transfers
The number of times a retry attempt is made upon a failure such as 503 Service Unavailable depends on the setting in Preferences → Connection → Repeat failed networking tasks → Number of retries.
Known Limitations
Rename and move files
Not supported. In Version 7 or later.
