    Certainly has me concerned. I’ll have to investigate a bit more into the financial solvency of the company to better understand whether they are at least covering bills and such… but honestly sounds like they aren’t and haven’t been.

    Going to need to start looking for alternative S3 type storage.

      Yeah, personally I’m optimistic, but I’d be in a boat of expecting access to be shut off one day, and ready to start uploading to a new provider at any moment

      • I’m only concerned insofar as I don’t know of a good alternative, and really don’t want to spend the time shifting everything to a new system. I have 3 VPSes and 4(? 5?) home computers backing up to B2. The major ones, I have also backing up to disk, so really the risk for me is in that gap period while I find and set up on a new backup service.

        This will be beyond annoying, but for me not catastrophic. Mainly, I’ve liked B2 - the price, and how easy it’s been to use. I understand the UI; it’s pretty straightforward, and it’s directly supported by a lot of software. It would be a real shame if it went under due to mismanagement.

        Also: another example supporting my theory that one of the major flaws in Capitalism is public trading markets. This shit wasn’t an issue before they went public.
