Add Backblaze B2 Account

Backblaze B2 Setup

These steps need to be completed within the Backblaze B2 console.

1. Sign in to the Backblaze B2 console
2. Navigate to Buckets and create a bucket if one does not already exist. Note the bucket name.
3. Navigate to App Keys
4. Select Add a New Application Key
5. Give the key a name, select the bucket it should have access to, and choose the appropriate permissions (read and write)
6. Select Create New Key
7. Copy the keyID (this is your Access Key) and applicationKey (this is your Secret Key). Save both for the PlaidCloud Document setup below. The application key is only shown once.
8. Note the S3 Endpoint for your bucket's region. It follows the pattern https://s3.{region}.backblazeb2.com (e.g. https://s3.us-west-004.backblazeb2.com). This can be found on the bucket details page.

You should now have everything you need to add your Backblaze B2 account to PlaidCloud Document.
