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.

AUWoeful product and even worse customer service. AVOID!! The one time I needed to use the download function, their software does not work and then the backup was missing lot of important files from months earlier even though it was on continuous backup. Their customer service is a joke. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs

NLIt sucks It sucks! massive price increases and all kinds of sleazy tacktings to prevent you from cancelling the renewal.

GBPerplexed and confused by poor ratings... In common with the other 5 star reviewers here, I’m taken aback by the number of bad revies for this organisation. As a photographer based in Scotland, I’ve used Backblaze to back up my images for over 6 years and have found them to be effective, efficient and communicative. Every single time I’ve reached out to them, a named individual has responded withing 24 hours and that same person has seen the conversation through to a conclusion. Having previously recovered individual images, I’ve just used them to recover 2tb of images due to me (like a total eejit) dropping an external drive. The recovery process was simple and within a week I had a 2tb drive with all my images delivered to my door. Just my opinion, but I believe that the vast majority of the poor reviews are down to user-error and people simply not taking due care when linking all their drives. I may not have used them if I’d seen these reviews, but I’ll continue with Backblaze and can’t recommend them highly enough…

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.
