# Back Up Your GoPro Cloud to Backblaze B2, AWS S3, or Local Storage

> Blober is the only tool that connects to GoPro Cloud. Move your GoPro footage to affordable, long-term storage before it's too late.

### The Problem

GoPro's cloud storage (GoPro Plus / GoPro Premium) offers unlimited storage for GoPro camera media. It's a great perk, until you want your footage somewhere else.

The reality for most GoPro users:

* **Painfully limited batch download.** GoPro's web portal caps batch downloads at 25 files at a time, bundled into a ZIP. Large batches frequently fail or time out, and metadata like GPS data may be stripped during compression
* **No third-party tool support.** rclone, MultCloud, Flexify, and every other transfer tool do *not* support GoPro Cloud
* **Subscription dependency.** Cancel GoPro Plus and your cloud access disappears. Your footage remains hostage to a recurring charge
* **No "Download All" option.** If you have hundreds or thousands of files, you're stuck doing dozens of 25-file batch downloads manually, hoping none fail

GoPro community forums are filled with users asking the same question: *"How do I download all my GoPro Cloud content at once?"* The practical answer is: not without hours of manual work and frequent failures.

[**Blober**](https://blober.io/) changes that.

### Blober: The Only Tool That Connects to GoPro Cloud

[**Blober**](https://blober.io/) is the **only** desktop application that integrates with GoPro's cloud storage. No other migration tool, free or paid, supports GoPro Cloud as a source or destination.

With Blober, you can:

* **Browse all your GoPro Cloud media**: photos and videos, organized by date, camera, and type
* **Download everything at once** to your local drive, NAS, or external HDD
* **Transfer directly** to Backblaze B2, AWS S3, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, Azure Blob Storage, or DigitalOcean Spaces
* **Use metadata-based path templates** to auto-organize files (e.g., by camera model, capture date, resolution)
* **Resume interrupted transfers**, with no need to start over if your connection drops

### Why Back Up GoPro Cloud?

#### 1. Subscription Lock-In

GoPro Plus (now GoPro Premium) costs \~$59.99/year. As long as you pay, your footage stays accessible. The moment you cancel, your cloud media goes offline. For years of footage, that's a dangerous bet on a single subscription.

#### 2. No Redundancy

GoPro Cloud is your only copy in the cloud. There is no built-in backup, no versioning, no geographic replication. If GoPro ever changes their terms, shuts down the service, or experiences data loss, your footage is gone.

#### 3. Cost Optimization

Long-term archival storage costs a fraction of ongoing subscriptions:

| Storage Option    | Cost for 1 TB/year          | Egress Fees             |
| ----------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| GoPro Plus        | \~$59.99/year (ongoing)     | N/A (limited downloads) |
| Backblaze B2      | \~$83/year ($6.95/TB/mo)    | Free up to 3x stored    |
| Wasabi            | \~$83.88/year ($6.99/TB/mo) | Free                    |
| AWS S3 (Standard) | \~$276/year                 | $0.09/GB                |
| Local NAS         | One-time HDD cost           | Free                    |

For most GoPro users, Backblaze B2 or Wasabi combined with a Blober one-time license is the most cost-effective long-term strategy.

#### 4. You Own Your Footage

Your GoPro footage is yours. Keeping it locked behind a single provider's subscription model is not ownership. It is rental. Backing it up to storage you control gives you true data sovereignty.

### How It Works

#### Step 1: Connect GoPro Cloud in Blober

1. Open [**Blober**](https://blober.io/) and create a new workflow
2. Select **GoPro** as the source
3. Click **Open GoPro Login** - a browser window opens
4. Sign in with your GoPro account
5. Blober captures your session automatically

#### Step 2: Choose Your Destination

Select where you want your footage to go:

* **Local disk**: your SSD, HDD, NAS, or external drive
* **Backblaze B2**: affordable, S3-compatible, free egress
* **AWS S3**: enterprise-grade, global availability
* **Wasabi**: hot storage with no egress fees
* **Cloudflare R2**: zero egress, fast edge delivery
* **Any other Blober-supported provider**

#### Step 3: Configure Path Templates (Optional)

Use Blober's metadata-based path templates to auto-organize files as they transfer:

```plaintext
/{camera_model}/{capture_date}/{filename}
```

This turns a flat GoPro dump into a clean archive:

```plaintext
/HERO13 Black/2026-01-23/GX015742.MP4
/HERO13 Black/2026-01-23/gorp0001.JPG
/HERO12 Black/2025-12-15/GX014521.MP4
```

#### Step 4: Run and Monitor

Click **Start** and Blober handles the rest:

* Parallel downloads for maximum throughput
* Real-time progress tracking
* Automatic resume on interruption
* Full task history logged for every file

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I upload to GoPro Cloud with Blober?** Yes. Blober supports uploads to GoPro Cloud (up to 5 TB per file) with multipart upload and progress tracking.

**Does Blober store my GoPro credentials?** No. Blober uses a browser-based login flow. Your session lasts approximately 20 hours, after which Blober prompts you to sign in again. Credentials are never stored or transmitted to any server.

**Can rclone, MultCloud, or Flexify do this?** No. As of February 2026, Blober is the only transfer tool that supports GoPro Cloud. rclone (70+ providers), MultCloud (30+ services), and Flexify (\~25 clouds) do not include GoPro Cloud integration.

**What if my transfer is interrupted?** Blober saves progress and resumes from the last successfully transferred file. No need to re-download everything.
