Known limitations

Gateway inherits the following B2 limitations:

  • No support for CopyObject S3 API (There are no equivalent APIs available on Backblaze B2).
  • No support for CopyObjectPart S3 API (There are no equivalent APIs available on Backblaze B2).
  • Only read-only bucket policy supported at bucket level, all other variations will return API Notimplemented error.
  • DeleteObject() might not delete the object right away on Backblaze B2, so you might see the object immediately after a Delete request.

Other limitations:

  • Bucket notification APIs are not supported.
