Backblaze vs Cloak

The default configuration includes everything except for system files to be backed up. That also includes external USB drives. This will work for most people. It can, of course, be customized to each person's liking.

There are no limitations of file size or amount of data you can upload. The $5/mo plan gets you unlimited cloud storage.

Backblaze creates a zip file of all your files for you to download, thus decreasing the amount of data you need to download and increasing the speed of the download since it's one connection instead of multiple that need to be opened and closed for a list of files.

AES encrypted files are transferred over a secure SSL connection.

Some backup services like Carbonite require a client to be installed to restore files. Backblaze allows you to login and download any or all files from a web browser, meaning it also serves as an ad-hoc cloud storage platform.

You can have a flash drive or an external hard drive delivered to you. They cost $99 and $189 respectively.

SSL pinning protects against some forms of man-in-the-middle attacks that even SSL encrypted traffic is vulnerable to. Not long ago, iOS did not allow for pinning but that may have changed more recently.

The developer of Cloak is extremely responsive to feedback and quick to answer questions or support requests.

Cloak can be set to not use the VPN on whitelisted WiFI SSIDs (like home/work).

Unlimited devices and data per account, so you can connect up the whole family or office on one account if you so choose.
