Encrypted File Upload with Backblaze
Simple implementation of client side encryption for file upload with backblaze as storage backend.
When uploading a file it will be encrypted client side with the AES algorithm using a randomly generated key. Then it will be uploaded to the server and made available through a unique URL containing the file id and the key.
If you lose the key you will not be able to decrypt the file.
Install

You will need to get a backblaze account on https://www.backblaze.com/ and get three informations : the account id, the account key and the bucket id.
