Mostly good service
Having used a couple other services, iDrive is quite good. I backed up about half a terabyte of data off my computer. That was little more difficult than I expected but figured it out. That took a few hours and now incremental backups are pretty quick. I also have it syncing my phone and that works great. The cloud sync, which was what I was most interested in, seems like an after thought in UX. It was difficult to get it to sync to all my folders on an external hard drive. Once it got set up, it works very well. I synced about a terabyte of photos and it took about 2 days. I love that I can drag a single folder into the cloud drive folder and I don't have to babysit it. The big missing item is: once all those photos are on cloud drive, there is no way to filter them, sort them or search for them. It's very difficult to find the photo I want.
