Backblaze Customer Insights

1. Also, because the backup browse only shows file names, you can't find the photo you want to download without downloading it first.

2. It would be nice to be able to mark multiple photos for download, or entire directory to speed up this process.Unfortunately after entering decryption key the browse function never loads.

3. Edit: Working the next day... Will change review if it keeps working đź‘ŤAm using the trial period before deciding to buy, thumbnail images are NOT displaying for jpg image files (as described/shown here and on your website).

4. It would be nice to be able to preview thumbnails of videos or view files in different views, such as tiled.

5. Also, is there a way to view the current backup progress? I am away from my PC, and in the app all I can see is the number files backed up and their size.

6. Anxiously waiting for a better alternative.I wish there was a way to look/watch images and videos without having to download them on to my device.

7. The download speed is fine, but the listing of Downloads takes a long time to load for the first time.

8. The mobile app simply doesn't work - crashes when trying to access any file and slow as hell when browsing.

9. Like in the back blaze panel on my PC it would be nice to say the total and remaining file count, as well as size.

10. Once you view the file, go back, the same amount of time has to elapse for the listing to become available again.

11. That said, I like how I can see what files I have backed up and have the ability to download them.
