• Is this supposed to work with Public files only? I tried it with Wasabi and Backblaze and it doesn’t work with Private hosted files. It connects and works fine when you upload files, but when you try to get files the authentication is lost. It looked promising but turns out it’s just a half-baked solution.

    Hey thanks for checking the plugin out.

    A few tips that might be helpful:

    – I only use S3 and GCS, so if you find the backblaze doesn’t work very well, instead of complaining, maybe fork the repo and send me some a fully-baked pull request.
    – Spend 300-400 hours of your own time writing a plugin that you provide for free that isn’t half-baked.
    – Pay me my hourly rate of $150 and I can fix the issues for you.

    Thanks!

    Jon.

    LOL! You advertise the plugin works with Backblaze, Wasabi and a few other cloud services. So I shouldn’t complain that it doesn’t work? You should own it and live up to your claims, making sure you test the plugin before you put it out for mass consumption. Tells me you’re just an amateur. I can get this done cheaper on Upwork and it’s not going to take 300-400 hours. Only programmers that don’t know what they’re doing take them that long.

    And by the way, I accidentally generated a new API key in BackBlaze and the plugin completely crashed the site. I had to login via FTP to delete the plugin. Reinstalled the plugin afterwards and it wouldn’t activate generating errors. Had to go in the WordPress database and delete the entries in the Options table related to the BackBlaze account. Even with a fresh install and uninstall it still leaves all that data behind in the database. Not exactly world class programming… lol.

    I came here looking for reviews of the plugin. I’m a current user of W3 Offload S3 and serve about 10k images through CloudFront. I would just like to point out though… I clean my databases often as most plugins DO NOT delete their information from the database. This is done intentionally, in case you ever come back to their plugin (which I have had clients do) and restore the content. However, there are many plugins that allow you to remote tables that are not associated with an active plugin.

    I’m really looking for someone’s thoughts on DO Spaces at this point.

    I hope that @jhbohlen didn’t get you upset. I read all his other comments on .org and I think you get a sense of his character from his post replies and topics…and before you go off on me…they are your posts, just sayin.

    I was circling back after successfully using this on several smaller sites with no issues at all. I am looking into Symlinking an install for some medium scale instead of WPMU.

    I know that you work on many larger sites and I’m curious if you have written about this possibly.
