What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI've been hoping for Backblaze to launch a "pro"/"enterprise" tier that allowed for this kind of use. Unfortunately (for me) it would appear they prefer to stay within their chosen niche: home user backups.
The service I'm aware of that is closest to what you describe is spideroak[1]. Last I used them (years ago) they were a little too slow, and had some other minor kinks -- but might be worth checking out again now.
It looks like they've also finally made good on delivering Nimbus.io -- both as source and as a service (as I said, it's been years since I looked at Spideroak...):
