Awesome video, Jay! I am very impressed with how well you explain things. I appreciated how well you spoke English, walked us through each setting step-by-step, and spoke slowly and clearly. I also appreciated the fact that you hid your face. Keep up the fantastic work!
Are you forced to backup your internal disc? Can't you make your internal disc an exception/exclusion? Does it delete all files from the "cloud"? Or if the local disc gets faulty, does it assumes the local drive as empty? Can't I just upload my full content and never sync anymore? I don't mind updating content in the future... I just want to store it once, but it is too big.... :( Can I manualy backup my files? Anyway, do you know what is the best real cloud system that offers me the more space for less money?
If an external hard drive fails on you. Can you transfer data from that drive to a new drive without having to upload all the data again. Is there a way to transfer ownership of that data to a new drive as far as the BackBlaze servers understand it? I'm suspecting that BackBlaze will let you download the data, but will then only keep the data until the old (failed) drive becomes available to them within 30 days. In which case I will have to re-upload the data again from the new external hard drive. Hopefully I am wrong in that assumption or there is a workaround.
I'm impressed with the clarity of your tutorial. I have a question, however. I just tried another cloud service (iDrive) and have quit them. The issue is that after creating my initial backup (a complete clone of my machine), my first incremental backup (occurring the next day) did reflect all of the new files created in a day, but it did NOT remove files that had been moved to another place on my machine or deleted entirely. In other words, it was adding and not deleting. When I tried to get this fixed with iDrive's tech support, they could not help me. So my question is, have you experienced this problem before? Does Backblaze remove old/deleted files on the cloud?? Thanks!
Finally, an actual tutorial. Searching "how to use backblaze" shows nothing but ads disguised as reviews. Thanks for the video.

Do you HAVE to download the app? Or can you just upload and download your files via the website like Dropbox?

Can you use a raid5 drive ?
You should be stating "FOR IOS" in your title.
