Backblaze B2 FAQ

Uploading Files to B2 fails to make a proxy or thumbnail.

Check the permissions that you have on the B2 Bucket. It is usually because we don't have permission to read the file.

Is there a B2 cost for using iconik?

If you want previews and thumbnails of your media stored on Backblaze B2 in iconik then there will be a cost as we transfer the files to our transcoders to create the previews and thumbnails.

There is also a small transfer of a small portion of the file as we index your content.

Please refer to the B2 pricing of what the actual cost will be.

How can I control costs with B2?

With Backblaze B2 you can setup both Caps and Alerts and you should do this if you are using B2 in production. Their help article https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217931138-How-to-use-B2-data-caps-alerts will explain more. We particularly like the ability to setup Download Bandwidth Caps.
