GitHub Action for Backblaze B2 🔥

⚠️ Note: To use this action, you must have access to the GitHub Actions feature. GitHub Actions are currently only available in public beta. You can apply for the GitHub Actions beta here.

This simple action syncs a directory (either from your repository or generated during your workflow) with a remote bucket on Backblaze B2.

Many find B2 appealing because of its free bandwidth deal with Cloudflare via the Bandwidth Alliance, but unlike other popular cloud "bucket" providers like DigitalOcean Spaces and DreamObjects, it is not compatible with S3's API, so using this official Python-based tool is required.
