      The undersigned, as a Section 16 reporting person of Backblaze, Inc., a

attorney-in-fact shall in his or her discretion determined to be required or
advisable pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as
amended) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any successor
