BloberCloud transfer
Move files from Box to Backblaze B2
Box is built for business content, with the governance and sharing controls that come with it. Getting a library out is a common exit. Blober moves the files straight from Box into Backblaze B2, with no download-and-re-upload step in between.
How the transfer works
Three steps between Box and Backblaze B2.
- 1
Connect Box and Backblaze B2
Add both accounts in Blober and sign in on your own machine. Credentials stay local; nothing is proxied through a server.
- 2
Choose what moves
Browse Box, filter by folder, date or type, then set the folder it should land in on Backblaze B2.
- 3
Start and walk away
Blober runs transfers in parallel, resumes after a dropped connection, and reports every file it moved.
Both ends, connected properly
Managed accounts, not a shared folder and not a workaround.
Source
Box
Box is built for business content, with the governance and sharing controls that come with it. Getting a library out is a common exit.
Destination
Backblaze B2
Backblaze B2 is S3-compatible object storage priced low for large, mostly-cold libraries. It is a frequent destination for photo and video archives.
Why move files from Box to Backblaze B2 with Blober
Cloud-to-cloud copying without a server in the middle, a script to maintain, or a per-gigabyte bill.
- No download and re-upload
- Files stream between the two accounts, so the library never has to fit on your disk first.
- One-time licence
- No per-transfer fees and no storage tiers of its own, just the price of the app.
- Resumable by default
- A dropped connection pauses the run instead of restarting it, and failed files retry.
- Credentials stay local
- Blober talks to both providers from your machine, so your logins are never held elsewhere.
Box to Backblaze B2: questions
What people ask before moving files between these two.
How do I move files from Box to Backblaze B2?
Install Blober for desktop, connect both accounts, choose Box as the source and Backblaze B2 as the destination, then start the transfer. Blober lists what it can see first, so you can pick folders before anything moves.
Can I transfer from Box to Backblaze B2 without downloading the files?
Yes. Blober streams each file from Box to Backblaze B2 instead of saving it to your disk and uploading it again. You do not need the free space, and nothing is left behind in a temporary folder.
Is there a file size or transfer limit?
No. Blober does not cap file size, file count or total volume, and it does not charge per transfer. The only limits are the ones your Box and Backblaze B2 plans already have.
What happens if the connection drops part way through?
Blober resumes. It retries failed files and continues from where it stopped, so a long migration does not have to start again from zero.
Are the folders and file names preserved?
Yes. Blober recreates the source structure at the destination. You can also apply a path template to sort files by date, type or size as they land, which helps when the source is a camera roll rather than a tidy folder tree.
Does my computer need to stay on?
Yes. Blober is a desktop app, so the transfer runs on your machine between your two accounts. That is also why your credentials never leave it.
How much does Blober cost?
Blober is a one-time licence, not a subscription. There are no per-transfer fees and no storage tiers of its own: you pay once, and every provider is included.
