Did I say that “all China is shit”? Don’t put words in my mouth.

I’d like to avoid hosting personal things on Chinese servers because the Chinese government is too powerful, and surveils everything. They don’t even act otherwise.

I would also totally understand if people don’t want to host things on US servers for their own reasons.

Sorry for not fitting into your weird narrative.

That’s what I personally use, but it’s important to note that Backblaze is meant to be a BACKUP, not “cloud storage” like OP asked about. The goal of backup is just to make sure your local files have a copy somewhere. If somebody’s asking for a cloud storage solution, they’re generally looking for an offsite place to store all their files.

Obviously there’s a lot of grey area, as some cloud storage companies offer “backup” services for some (but not all) of your local files. But in general, these are two different things.

China based. I wouldn’t put anything private or sensitive on their servers…

Right, if you’re relying on self-hosted storage you need an offsite backup. Backblaze is cheap.
