I did have an initial issue where the sheer number of files seemed to be causing a problem so I created a number of separate tasks in Cloud Sync for a number of sub-directories of my file system than just the root folder. Once I did that the problems disappeared.
Are you using Cloud Sync to connect to Backblaze?

I did notice some screwiness when backblaze client tries to sync a folder associated with other cloud backup solutions. I have accounts with CloudStor, Dropbox, and Onedrive. Excluding these folders from the backup solves everything, and is no loss, as they manage themselves.
I've lost 3x 2Tb drives in 5 yrs (my fault, poor environment, very old disks, etc). Backblaze had everything back to me in a week.
Whilst I have no advice in your Mac environment, I encourage you to persist.

Hi Jonathan & Andy,
Thanks guys - After a bit of to-ing & fro-ing with Synology & idrive tech support, I have successfully linked my Synology unit to idrive's cloud storage platform. I tested files each way, uploading & retrieving them successfully. I have subscribed to their current US$149 10Tb/2 year deal.
Current progress report shows it will take a month to upload all the data via our unlimited home NBN plan.
Nice to know its finally backing up safely.
