Integrate secure image storage into Ghost using Backblaze - deployed using a custom storage adapter

Backblaze is a personal and business cloud storage solution that offers secure storage. It is a paid service that can be integrated with Ghost to override the default image storage method so that all images that are inserted into Ghost Admin are saved in Backblaze.

## Full Backblaze storage adapter

By default, Ghost stores any images uploaded to Ghost Admin locally to its filesystem, and delivers them via the same Ghost front-end service which delivers Ghost themes. It’s possible to replace this layer entirely using a custom storage adapter.

👉 [**Ghost-b2**](https://github.com/martiendt/ghost-storage-adapter-b2) is an open source and widely tested storage adapter for Backblaze with a comprehensive setup guide.

A custom storage adapter allows Ghost to upload and serve images directly to/from external services like Backblaze. Once you have deployed your storage adapter, you can use the Backblaze media library interface to manage the images and assets on your Ghost site.
