I'd like to sync dataset to cloud storage provider (BackBlaze B2), however many files that I have are highly compressible. I cannot rely on storage provider compression (if BackBlaze even offers that) since I will be enabling a remote encryption.

Is there any way on "Cloud Sync" to setup a file compression before files being sent to a cloud storage provider?

The cloud-sync feature does not natively compress files prior to transfer. It will encrypt as you noted though.
