I use B2 in combination with gocryptfs and rclone. Works seamlessly, and I can restore backups to either Windows or Linux.
Been a customer for a couple years now and very happy with it.

Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Gocryptfs looks quite interesting thanks!
I've been using them as backup storage for a while (their B2 offering to be exact) and it's been working fine for me.
Really can't complain about the price, most other providers are more expensive or have specific conditions attached.
I use them for an online copy of my backup. They're very cheap and I've got nothing bad to say about them. I use rclone to sync a local borgbackup repo to it, which gives me a couple copies for redundancy.
I like them - fast enough and a good price, especially if you have public data you're happy to put behind Cloudflare for free egress.
Edit: Aaaand this morning I get an email saying prices are going up by 20% in October 🤦♂️
