I discoverd this change recently because my mom was looking for a file that dropbox accidently deleted\/overwrote and I thought let&#8217;s get that file from Backblaze backup &#8211; that&#8217;s why I pay backblaze for. To my surprise that file was not recoverable from <strong>Backblaze backups<\/strong>. I learned that this policy has changed few months ago and that <strong>Backblaze<\/strong> never informed us about this change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite claiming to backup all your data, <strong>Backblaze quietly stopped backing up OneDrive and Dropbox folders<\/strong> &#8211; along with potentially many other things. A blogger too posted that they found out backblaze stopped backing .git folders which are required for your github. The user&#8217;s Onedrive folder (about 350GB data) was also missing from backblaze backup and backblaze simply didn&#8217;t notified it users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I then searched hacker news and even this blog popped up. Lots of businesses and personal users have stopped using backblaze after this. If you read all those comments you&#8217;ll notice backblaze is now not a good provider for backing up your computer data. So I am looking for another paid\/free alternative to Backblaze that allows dropbox\/onedrive\/google drive backups too. <\/p>\n<!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without notifying customers Backblaze has stopped backing up OneDrive and Dropbox &#8211; Any good alternatives to Backblaze?
