@dkam Yeah. Wasabi has a Sydney region, so that's the likely choice...

@shlee just be aware of Wasabi’s minimum 90 day object lifetime. If your uploads are staying for less than 90 days, it’s worth investigating another service. Backblaze or Linode’s object store maybe.

Most of our files are going to "forever".. Sadly backblaze/linode don't have a Sydney region.

@dkam @shlee Makes me wonder if Jortage ( https://jortage.com/ ) would work for Aus sites, tho I suspect where it's hosted out of might just be too slow? That said, also makes me wonder if there are similar things out there too that are a bit more local.
Jortage Communal Cloud

@cefiar @dkam I'm a huge fan of Jortage. I actually asked them to consider a Jortage AU for us.

I've asked the other administrators if they would use it, and generally got little traction.

@cefiar @dkam I might move forward being the first instance and once I prove its stable. Ask others to join me
