Yev from Backblaze -> Yes! We do hope to have a location in Europe and are on the hunt for one! That said, it's a bit of a long process, so there's no ETA for now - but it's something we're actively pursuing!

Just to add a bit more color - we're actively aiming to have a European region by end of year.

By 'similar' do you mean having a German trustee or something else?

Yea, I mean having a German (or other European) trustee.

The CLOUD Act thing being discussed presently (re: Microsoft) sounds like it could make things tricky. :/

Frankfurt has the best peering overall, if you also consider Eastern Europe in the equation.
