# Back Up Your GoPro Cloud to Backblaze B2, AWS S3, or Local Storage

Feb 15, 2026

### The Problem

GoPro’s cloud storage (GoPro Plus / GoPro Premium) offers unlimited storage for GoPro camera media. It’s a great perk - until you want your footage somewhere else.

The reality for most GoPro users:

- **Painfully limited batch download** - GoPro’s web portal caps batch downloads at 25 files at a time, bundled into a ZIP. Large batches frequently fail or time out, and metadata like GPS data may be stripped during compression
- **No third-party tool support** - rclone, MultCloud, Flexify, and every other transfer tool do _not_ support GoPro Cloud
- **Subscription dependency** - cancel GoPro Plus and your cloud access disappears. Your footage remains hostage to a recurring charge
- **No “Download All” option** - if you have hundreds or thousands of files, you’re stuck doing dozens of 25-file batch downloads manually, hoping none fail

GoPro community forums are filled with users asking the same question: _“How do I download all my GoPro Cloud content at once?”_ - and the practical answer is: not without hours of manual work and frequent failures.

### Blober: The Only Tool That Connects to GoPro Cloud

[**Blober**](/content/site-root.html) is the **only** desktop application that integrates with GoPro’s cloud storage. No other migration tool - free or paid - supports GoPro Cloud as a source or destination.

With Blober, you can:

- **Browse all your GoPro Cloud media** - photos and videos, organized by date, camera, and type
- **Download everything at once** to your local drive, NAS, or external HDD
- **Transfer directly** to Backblaze B2, AWS S3, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, Azure Blob Storage, or DigitalOcean Spaces
- **Use metadata-based path templates** to auto-organize files (e.g., by camera model, capture date, resolution)
- **Resume interrupted transfers** - no need to start over if your connection drops

### Why Back Up GoPro Cloud?

#### 1. Subscription Lock-In

GoPro Plus costs ~$49.99/year. As long as you pay, your footage stays accessible. The moment you cancel, your cloud media goes offline. For years of footage, that’s a dangerous bet on a single subscription.

#### 2. No Redundancy

GoPro Cloud is your only copy in the cloud. There is no built-in backup, no versioning, no geographic replication. If GoPro ever changes their terms, shuts down the service, or experiences data loss - your footage is gone.

#### 3. Cost Optimization

Long-term archival storage costs a fraction of ongoing subscriptions:

| Storage Option | Cost for 1 TB/year | Egress Fees |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GoPro Plus | ~$49.99/year (ongoing) | N/A (limited downloads) |
| Backblaze B2 | ~$72/year ($6/TB/mo) | Free up to 3x stored |
| Wasabi | ~$83.88/year ($6.99/TB/mo) | Free |
| AWS S3 (Standard) | ~$276/year | $0.09/GB |
| Local NAS | One-time HDD cost | Free |

For most GoPro users, Backblaze B2 or Wasabi combined with a Blober one-time license is the most cost-effective long-term strategy.

#### 4. You Own Your Footage

Your GoPro footage is yours. Keeping it locked behind a single provider’s subscription model is not ownership - it’s rental. Backing it up to storage you control gives you true data sovereignty.

### How It Works

#### Step 1: Connect GoPro Cloud in Blober

1. Open [**Blober**](/content/site-root.html) and create a new workflow
2. Select **GoPro** as the source
3. Click **Open GoPro Login** - a browser window opens
4. Sign in with your GoPro account
5. Blober captures your session automatically

#### Step 2: Choose Your Destination

Select where you want your footage to go:

- **Local disk** - your SSD, HDD, NAS, or external drive
- **Backblaze B2** - affordable, S3-compatible, free egress
- **AWS S3** - enterprise-grade, global availability
- **Wasabi** - hot storage with no egress fees
- **Cloudflare R2** - zero egress, fast edge delivery
- **Any other Blober-supported provider**

#### Step 3: Configure Path Templates (Optional)

Use Blober’s metadata-based path templates to auto-organize files as they transfer:

```
/{camera_model}/{capture_date}/{filename}
```

This turns a flat GoPro dump into a clean archive:

```
/HERO13 Black/2026-01-23/GX015742.MP4

/HERO13 Black/2026-01-23/gorp0001.JPG

/HERO12 Black/2025-12-15/GX014521.MP4
```

#### Step 4: Run and Monitor

Click **Start** and Blober handles the rest:

- Parallel downloads for maximum throughput
- Real-time progress tracking
- Automatic resume on interruption
- Full task history logged for every file

### Supported GoPro Media

| Type | Extensions |
| --- | --- |
| Videos | `.mp4`, `.mov`, `.avi`, `.mkv` |
| Photos | `.jpg`, `.png`, `.raw`, `.dng` |

Blober downloads the **highest available quality** - no compression, no re-encoding.

### Metadata Available

Each GoPro file includes rich metadata that Blober can use for organization:

| Field | Example |
| --- | --- |
| Camera model | HERO13 Black |
| Capture date | 2026-01-23 |
| Resolution | 5312 × 2988 |
| File size | 142.5 MB |
| Duration | 0:32 (videos) |

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I upload to GoPro Cloud with Blober?**  
Yes. Blober supports uploads to GoPro Cloud (up to 5 TB per file) with multipart upload and progress tracking.

**Does Blober store my GoPro credentials?**  
No. Blober uses a browser-based login flow. Your session lasts approximately 20 hours, after which Blober prompts you to sign in again. Credentials are never stored or transmitted to any server.

**Can rclone, MultCloud, or Flexify do this?**  
No. As of February 2026, Blober is the only transfer tool that supports GoPro Cloud. rclone (70+ providers), MultCloud (30+ services), and Flexify (~25 clouds) do not include GoPro Cloud integration.

**What if my transfer is interrupted?**  
Blober saves progress and resumes from the last successfully transferred file. No need to re-download everything.

### Take Control of Your GoPro Footage

Your footage is irreplaceable - years of adventures, events, and memories sitting in a cloud you can only access through a subscription. [**Blober**](/content/site-root.html) gives you a way out: move it all to storage you own and control, in the highest quality, organized exactly how you want.
