Yev here -> Anyone can write to the B2 Native API or our S3 Compatible API, we have tons of integrations that do it, here's a list -> https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html

I don't think that's what gp meant. Why not use a standard protcol like SFTP?

I don't see how you could cram all of S3's functionality into sftp? How would you configure a lifecycle policy for a file for example? Or generate a signed URL?

It seems to me you would only get a very narrow subset of the functionality.

I see, I suppose there wasn't a free standard before and S3's API just inofficially became one.

Because the S3 API has become a more popular standard.

what python blob storage libraries are using "SFTP"? How is that the "standard"?

I literally have NEVER seen SFTP being used for blob storage in any python project - is this a real thing somewhere?
