It will authenticate you, create the bucket if needed, and push only files that are not already present in the backblaze bucket.

_python 3.5+ only_

Set up

• install b2upload

pip install b2upload

• create a .backblaze file in your home directory

it should contain the following:

[backblaze]
accountId = <your-account-id>
applicationKey = <your-application-key>

Usage

• to upload all files and subfolders of the current directory

b2upload --bucket <bucket-name>
