How Backblaze Mobile works
Backblaze online backup automatically backs up all the data from a customer's Mac or PC to the cloud. Upon installing Backblaze Mobile from the App Store and signing in, a customer can:
- Choose the PC or Mac computer they have backed up with Backblaze.
- Access the files the want, even those on external USB drives they have backed up with Backblaze.
- Download and experience their files: photos, music, videos, documents and more.
- Share their files: Print, text, email, post to Facebook and Twitter, or save files to the camera roll.
Since Backblaze has all the data stored in the cloud, Backblaze Mobile users can access their files even if their computer is offline or turned off.
"Data mobility is a priority for many of our users ranging from executives, photographers, and genealogists, to parents, musicians and filmmakers," said Gleb Budman, CEO of Backblaze. "In addition to the peace of mind that Backblaze provides by safely backing up their photos, videos, music, documents and more, they've told us that mobile access to their data is required. With Backblaze Mobile our customers have easy yet secure mobile access to their data."
