A desktop client for Backblaze B2 buckets
Backblaze B2 is a common choice for archives, backups and media delivery because the storage and egress pricing is easy to reason about. What it does not include is a desktop workspace for the everyday file work that follows: checking whether a build artifact landed, pulling a client asset back down, or reorganising a folder before a handoff.
AnyStorage is a desktop Backblaze B2 client for exactly that layer. You connect a B2 account, browse buckets as folders, and upload, download, rename or delete files from a normal desktop interface on macOS, Windows or Linux.
B2 alongside the rest of your storage
Most teams that use B2 do not use only B2. An archive bucket sits next to a production S3 bucket, a WebDAV share, an SFTP server or a Google Drive folder. Switching between a web console, a terminal and a sync client for each one is where the time goes.
- Connect Backblaze B2 as a first-class connection type, not a generic workaround.
- Keep B2 buckets open in tabs beside S3, R2, Azure Blob, GCS, WebDAV, FTP/SFTP and cloud drives.
- Watch uploads and downloads in one Transfer Station instead of per-service progress bars.
- Store connection credentials on the local machine rather than in a shared browser session.
Because B2 speaks an S3-compatible API underneath, the file model stays familiar: buckets, prefixes, objects. AnyStorage presents that as a folder tree without hiding what the storage actually is.
Presigned links for B2 handoffs
Sharing from object storage usually means either making a bucket public or handing over long-lived keys. Neither is a good default. AnyStorage can generate presigned upload and download links for B2 and the other object storage services it supports, so a collaborator, a remote script or a customer gets time-limited access to one object without touching your credentials.
That covers the common B2 tasks: send a large deliverable, let a partner drop a file into a specific prefix, or pull an archive down for review.
Practical, not infrastructural
AnyStorage does not mount B2 as a network drive and does not try to replace your backup tooling. It focuses on the file operations people repeat every day — browse, search by prefix, preview images, text and audio, transfer, and share a link — across every storage connection in one window.
If Backblaze B2 is one part of a larger storage stack, a desktop B2 client that treats it as a peer to everything else is usually more useful than another single-service tool.
