Thanks...
I have been to hell and back with Wasabi and ultimately decided I cannot deal with heir draconian egress policy. The fact that they will not at least let you pay for more egress per GB is one thing, but to only allow egress up to the amount you have uploaded is just insanity.
Vultr seems to be working well for me. It is fast, I can setup multiple different object storage instances (paid separately) and the fact I can simply pay for more egress use is perfect. I also find it has the most compatibility with Amazon S3 commands like Wasabi, and unlike Backblaze. Vultr Object Storage is still new, so hopefully they don't go the route of some of the others, but an option if people have need one.
I don't think Backblaze is supported...fully at least as it seems to need a secured connection to do Content Dispostion which seems to be the issue for most of these. For me I have been looking at multiple solutions as My Downloads egress on Wasabi was way too high like 2.5TB compared to the 150GB I have stored. The CDN Option with cloudflare simply didn't do much at 25% cached on average and in addition to that the whole thing went up in smoke when I got a 522 I could not recover from. I tried to see if Wasabi will match some additional bandwidth cost like their competitors. No go. They gave me till Monday to get my bandwidth down. 3 Days.
Fast forward I decided I didn't mind paying a little extra (0.01/GiB) for additional bandwidth but I need to find a provider that works.
First I tried Digital Ocean. Nice provider but it seems they have switched over to the dreaded must have a signed account for public read. So this one was a no go, but I might keep it as a storage backup
Next I tried Backblaze. And like Digital Ocean same thing, trying to download with the headers gives you an error basically saying you are not allowed to do this anonymously. It works great for pictures if that is what you want to use it for but not so much for downloads.
Next up Linode. Nice little service but I could not get the thing to work with S3Browser, which for me was just a sign this not going to be good. S3 Browser allows you to do things like update bucket policy and other things many providers do not have a front end for so if it didn't work, it was a no go.
Finally I tried Vultr. They are a new Object Storage provider so I figured..."Hey Why not". So I went off transferring my June folder over to do initial testing. I test by basically grabbing the link that IPS uses in downloads and seeing if it will work or error out. To my delight and surprise, It WORKED!! This tells me vultr is pretty much setup exactly like Wasabi, and with S3 Browser any bucket policies I had I can add them directly through an API call. Also in addition Vultr is fast....like stupid fast compared to the rest. Backblaze I found to be the slowest of all.
So for pricing Vultr is $5/Month giving you 250GB of storage (additional 0.02/GiB) and 1TB of Bandwidth (Additional being 0.01/GiB). For me this turned out to be roughly $25 Per Month for the month Bandwidth I am using. That price is not bad for the peace of mind.
Anyway wanted to put this up here as I have not really seen much convo on S3 Compatible Storage that actually works outside of Wasabi.
