GRGreat product, terrible customer service 👎 As others have commented, there are no longer live chat or phone options. This company grew a lot thanks to us customers, and now they are "too big for us". E-mail support is lacking. For example, I have recently had an open case for 14 days, without an answer. Finally when I did get an answer, it was irrelevant to my request, and a follow-up reply was an exact copy-paste duplicate. Stop spitting into the well you drink from. Bring back direct support, or else the growth we all gave you would soon be gone.

GBUnaccountable, Faceless and less than accomodating service Their support team only send pre-generated responses to your concerns. They failed to review our account utilization when their system fails to properly remove outdated files based on the set policy. Also, their download costs are through the roof. We were charged several thousand when some 3rd-party unrelated to our company downloaded several 100TB of our data. They have no accountability for failures in their automated platform. Avoid like the PLAGUE!

GBI used Backblaze for a year, never again. I used Backblaze for a year. The install was simple and service worked flawlessly. The problem came when I found I was not going to need the service for awhile. When I got a renewal notice, I went to disable autorenewal but there was no such option. The only option is is cancel the service and give up the time you've already paid for or, wait till exactly the renewal date, remember log in and cancel or you get autorewed. The response from customer support was basically FU, live with it. This is a classic website dark pattern, one the CFPB has recently put out notice on. Any company employing this sort of unethical pattern will never get my business again as their management clearly have a broken ethical compass.

GBTERRIBLE customer support This service is the WORST! Expensive and their crappy Zendesk support is a joke. No way to contact them via phone. They're supposed to be available via chat during business hours, but I've been trying for WEEKS to get assistance. They just send links to outdated Help articles with poorly written, incomplete instructions.

PKUnreliable For Business Use Unreliable For Business Use We used Backblaze, but they closed our account due to a fake DMCA complaint without verifying its validity or checking for the existence of files in our account. Their customer support is unreliable and often response is computer-generated AI nonsense. I wouldn't recommend using them despite their good pricing model. We were not even given the chance to move our files. Luckily we have a backup with Digitalocean otherwise we were secrewed.
