Transfer encryption and client-side encryption were enabled on the Synology device. I've set Backblaze to only keep one version of my files (Lifecycle Settings), as I don't believe having versioning would be useful since I have client-side encryption set up. Secure your data in the cloud and seamlessly share files and workflows using Synology with B2 Cloud Storage. I wish regular Backblaze supported Synology. I need a Crashplan and Amazon replacement. 3 points 2 years ago. Never going to happen. You can thank the gents over at datahoarders for that. Same reason Amazon killed unlimited storage. 6 points 3 years ago. BackBlaze B2 is already allowed for sync folders, so this shouldn't be hard. Since the thread on the old forums Amazon Drive has discontinued their unlimited plan and hubiC have stopped taking new customers. We badly need more choice of cloud backup providers and BackBlaze are one of the biggest and best.
Bellevue, WA—July 7, 2016—Synology® Inc. today announced its top rated file syncing and backup application Cloud Sync now supports B2 Cloud Storage, an increasingly popular and competitively priced cloud storage service from Backblaze.
'Synology is committed to providing a storage platform that is deeply integrated with multiple public cloud services,' said Alex Wang, CEO of Synology America Corp. 'We are always open to new partnership opportunities to extend our services and offerings. The addition of Backblaze B2 offers an alternative for online object storage services.'
'We are pleased to be able to offer Synology NAS users the ability to save on every sync, now that our B2 Cloud Storage service is integrated into Cloud Sync, ' stated Gleb Budman, Co-founder and CEO of Backblaze. 'The combination of Synology and Backblaze delivers an easy to use, cost effective on-site/off-site data storage solution for individuals and companies of all sizes.'
Synology Cloud Sync provides real-time data synchronization between Synology NAS and a variety of popular cloud storage services including Backblaze B2 and many more. Users can easily share files with others while implementing multiple off-site backups to more than one cloud destination. Synchronized data can be encrypted with Cloud Sync to prevent unauthorized access. To learn more about Cloud Sync, please visit https://www.synology.com /dsm/6.0/cloud_file_syncing#cloud_sync

Availability
This release is available worldwide immediately.
Early in 2016 I published a post on how I setup my Synology NAS to backup to CrashPlan from Code42. It certainly wasn't an out of the box process and involved a lot of behind the scenes hacking on both the Synology and my laptop in order to get it going. It did, however, work well.

Backblaze Synology Review
I started to notice a pattern in that, with every iteration of the DSM platform or Java update, the CrashPlan service would just stop. I'd get it going again, but each time, it was not as simple as clicking the Start button next to the Service window. No, it was always far more detailed than that and I started to grow weary. I even went weeks at times without backing up my NAS, and this was not a situation I could tolerate any more.
At the time, when researching backup solutions, I felt disappointed that Backblaze weren't offering any kind of solution for this. I had been using Backblaze for several years on my Mac devices and always found it to be a solid, reliable and unobtrusive piece of software. I've only needed to restore a few items in that time, yet each time the process was quick and easy. This is what I ideally wanted on my NAS.
Well, now I do.
Backblaze now offer a B2 Cloud Storage which links directly to my Synology NAS. Rather than paying a fixed monthly fee, B2 works in a very similar mould to it's cloud storage competitors in that you will pay per GB (currently $0.005 per GB), so working out your appromiate monthly bill is simple.
The best part about this solution is, without question, the ease of setup and subsequent lack of worry. You can 'set it and forget it', just like on your laptop or desktop machine. Backblaze provide an intuitive guide which lays out the steps in a logical, well explained manner.
I'd say more, but once the guide was followed, I haven't had to carry out any more maintenance. It's important to note that this is a Cloud Storage solution for your NAS as opposed to a fully fledged Backup solution. I use this solely for duplicating all of my NAS content to cloud storage. I can then download on any device with an internet connection.
So quick, so simple, so hassle-free.
That's enough of a selling point for me.
