## Steps

1. Create a Backblaze account [on this page](https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage). Credit card info *is not* required. Backblaze B2 offers 10 GB of free storage.
2. Create a **bucket**, you can leave the default settings:

4. Copy `Endpoint`, eg. `s3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com` — it'll be used later.
5. Copy `bucketname` near the 🪣 icon — it'll be used later.

9. Save `keyID` and `applicationKey` — they will be used later.
10. Go to Remotely Save settings in Obsidian and: 
	- Choose `S3 or compatibile` in **Remote Service**:
	- Copy `Endpoint` from Backblaze (see 3. above) to `Endpoint` in Remotely Save
	- From `endpoint` take `region` (eg. `us-east-005`) and paste it in `endpoint` in Remotely Save
	- Copy `keyID` (see 7. above) to `Access Key ID` in Remotely Save
	- Copy `applicationKey` (see 7. above) to `Secret Access Key` in Remotely Save
	- Copy `bucketname` (see 4. above) to `Bucket Name` in Remotely Save
