Great app, allows access to backed up pc files This app works well as a mobile counterpart with the purpose of monitoring the backblaze pc app. It lets me monitor my backup progress and allows me to access the files in the cloud from my phone, which is huge...like having a near realtime shadow copy of my home files. This app is not designed to back up your phone, so it is not fair to pick on the upload limit. I do second the request for thumbnail images when navigating my files, but I am satisfied with this app with the low price of backblaze.

Glad they have the app - which it was more helpful I think the number 1 thing people use back up cloud stuff for is photos. I bet the number 1 reason to have an app is so you can access those backed up photos anywhere. I bet the number 1 reason no one can use this app for photos is because how could you possible find a photo that has no thumbnail - just a name. DSC10042.jpg doesn't help me. I need some better indicator as to what the file is. Thumbnails would be great!

Only works on desktop computers BIG WISH #1 - Wish I could backup my phone and ipad pictures as I pay for a lot of storage, but can't utilize it all. However it works great to backup my iMac. BIG WISH #2 - thumbnails so you can see what images you are downloading! Unless you individually name each photo, there is no way to find it... guessing is not pretty

Just works Backblaze are very good. It just works. First time on the app, I found a picture on my PC, easy. If trouble hits I am ready. This app works with a backblaze cloud backup package for a PC. It's not for backing up your phone. But if you backup stuff to your PC from the phone then it will be!

Please allow for larger downloads... 30mb restriction is absurd. Also please add thumbnail view for easier browsing. When I asked for a restore for a single file over 30 mb, I got a notice I will receive a mail when it's ready to download, got it over 24h later. And support told me this week they have no ETA for any updates.not worth the money. I'm changing services.

Lacking features I would like to be able to check the status of my backups in this app. I don't find it very helpful to download files I backed up from my PC to my tablet.

I love the service, the app is crap. (update 5 months later: same problems) Can't perform its main funcfion - downloading. This happens far too often, even with Wifi + Mobile network + Smart network switch.

Vicentte Jalowitzki de Quadros July 29, 2015

Good program, bad app Waaay too lazy. Difficult to navigate, no thumbnails make it useless. Computer program is great, but the app is just lazy. (Better than nothing at all, at least you can retrieve documents in an emergency, but Backblaze should definitely improve it)

Ethan Spitz October 14, 2014

Very Clean App! Disappointing file cap! As much as I love the interface, I can't give it a good rating, the 30 MB file cap is unacceptable, there is no GOOD reason for it. Other backup services would do over 30 MB and wouldn't care.

Emir Yildiz May 17, 2015

Very basic The computer locator feature would be nice. Also a thumbnail is also a must if a user is trying to find something. Looks like they stopped supporting or updating the all as well. Last update is almost 10 months old

Robert Sitter May 20, 2015

Hmmm absolutely useless 30mb file limit... dislike.... doesn't show up in open apps list so can't shut down app....dislike.... no thumbnails on images....dislike... basically only good for reading a list of filenames you backed up lol...expected better... pretty useless...

October 18, 2015

Last updated 21 August 2014? Unacceptable lack of updates to this app. Guys c'mon we need more stability fixes to the app and more features added. It's been over a year...

Tim Reiter August 30, 2016

Doesn't work at all. Downloaded yesterday. Have not been able to log in. "Encountered a problem communicating with Backblaze". App not updated since 2014. Useless.

Eric Warren Jacobus September 23, 2016

30 MB cap is absurd I love Backblaze, but the cap on downloads over 30 MB is absurd. I'll consider other cloud services that don't do this with their mobile users.

Kevin Winn February 8, 2015

I'm in love. It's always good to have more than one backup solution. Time Machine + Backblaze puts my mind at ease. Ridiculously affordable, too. Both of my computers only cost $10/mo. If they had a Linux client I'd gladly pay for a license for my Linux boxes as well.

Ti Yam December 23, 2016

Ridiculous 30MB restrictions Come on! 30MB restrictions in this era? Even a simple image file easily exceeds 30MB these days. Is Blackbaze still living in the 90s?

Christopher Doherty September 2, 2017

Ex-Crashplan user here, their mobile app was nothing remarkable so I didn't expect much here - and I got about what I expected. Merely a browser for backed up files. I did successfully download a 1mb test photo, but it was very slow to show up even after completing the download. There's no access to your account settings or subscription status.

William Henley August 12, 2016

Not bad for version 1.1 Lowering score cause no update in two years.It works, and works well, so that's a start. App is significantly faster than Carbonite's, and easier to navigate than OneDrive. Add thumbnail support and in app readers for pics and text files, and you got a winner

Saarika Varma February 21, 2015

It's okay I love that this app comprehensively backs up my mac. A couple of things that would make it better: I'd love to actually be able to see my backed up photos as photos on the app. It would also be great if I could bak up the files on my phone as well.

Sim Lash September 7, 2015

Please remove the 30 mega byte limit The app is good with a nice simple UI, but in 2015 there's no reason for a 30 MB download limit.

Dinu August 22, 2014

Very simple yet effective Does what it says without sniffing your contacts, accounts, IDs, etc. Thank you for respecting my privacy

Alex Embley August 27, 2016

Always unreachable Whenever I try to login I get a backblaze was unreachable error. Wifi is enabled and the website works fine.

BJ Hayes October 23, 2014

30mb file limit and no image thumbnails I tried to use this to find some photos I had backed up but without image thumbnails it was impossible.

William Storm April 17, 2015

Does not work States error was encountered when trying to view files and logs me out.

Heather Dailey April 15, 2016

Never works. Ever time I try to log in it says it's encountered a problem and to try later. Very disappointing.

Dan Knauf March 18, 2017

Fails to download even tiny text files. This app is okay for browsing what you have backed up, but forget retrieving anything on your mobile.

Gus Luke September 29, 2014

Very good backup solution I am very happy with this company, in less than a month I made a backup of my whole computer.

Steve Harman April 7, 2017

Doesn't. Seem to support their Backblaze B2 product? Uninstalling. Waste of time.

M Thompson October 31, 2014

I can't tell if its any good because I can't get it to open. This app tells me over and over again that there was a communication error and it can't be reached. Shame.

Tony F September 6, 2017

Endless junk messages. Made the mistake of signing up for a trial. Spammed me with junk emails for months, no way to stop them. Avoid

Daniel Welu March 29, 2016

Backblaze Unreachable Can't even sign in, website works fine, app has never logged in once. Bye backblaze, Dropbox actually works.

Brian Lovelace February 6, 2015

I guess it's okay. I really don't like having to type in my account information every time. Add a remember me check box or add it to an android system account! PLEASEEE

Backblaze February 9, 2015

If you open the navigation drawer (click on the upper left hand corner or swipe from the left) and go to Settings you can check "Remember My Login Info". We should probably put this on the login screen to make it more discoverable.

Daniel Martin September 27, 2014

30MB download limit So I can't download anything over 30 megabytes. What a joke.

Andy Ruxanda October 17, 2014

Reliable! Best cloud backup service. I've been their client for 3 years and I'll continue to be for many years to come.

Mike Bondoc October 17, 2014

App is nice. Backblaze is a top notch service. Don't know what I'd do without it. Great for my peace of mind.

Marty Wegner January 27, 2015

The best cloud backup solution The best solution I've found for our backup needs. This client is handy if you need to access something while away from the PC.
