Hi @Lorian, please find our FAQ: https://s3drive.app/faq?q=howto In principle you'll need to register an S3 account at some provider: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/#s3-providers Then you'll have to setup API details: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/#initial-setup which you use to connect from the S3Drive. You'll need to enable E2E encryption in the Settings (you'll be asked to provide your password which will be used to encrypt your assets). Once it's all done you can then safely upload your files. You will be able to access your files on all devices as long as you connect using same API details and setup same E2E encryption password. I hope that helps a bit. (edited)

Hi again @Lorian You need to swap around first two rows. KeyID is first, applicationKey comes second. Since you've shared these keys already in public, once you set it up, please regenerate them for your own safety. Enabling encryption on the Backblaze side wouldn't hurt, but that's Server Side Encryption which means Backblaze at any time can read your data (I am not saying they will, only that they have such technical possibility). If you really aim to protect your privacy, you'll need to enable client-side encryption in S3Drive. (edited)

Perfect, depending on your needs you may want to adjust your S3 provider. As far I am concerned Backblaze offers 10GB free account. There are some providers offering little bit more than that, but as always there are some gotchas.

Whilst I can't recommend any. There are couple others. https://c2.synology.com/en-global/object-storage/overview - 15GB https://www.storj.io/pricing - 25GB There is also Scaleway, they claim 75GB, but there are some gotchas. The Storage Class needs to be configured: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/4389/scaleways-free-75gb-object-storage S3Drive supports custom Storage Class configuration, however it is a paid feature.
