IDrive Online Backup Reviews

It was easy to install the software and then backup my desktop and laptop. I like the fact that a single account can backup multiple devices. I will likely also back up my phone and tablet. Also, they sent a physical drive to get me started, otherwise it would have taken weeks to do the first backup. Very nice! I deduct one star because it took iDrive a long time to upload the physical drive to my account after I shipped it back. A couple of emails with their tech support fixed the issue, and I was good to go.

First-time customer, the website and dedicated apps (for Desktop and Nas) are functional and very friendly. A couple of clics and your backup routine is up and ready. Not giving a full 5-stars because of the upload and download speed that could be boosted a bit. But apart from that, very happy of the service.

Awesome program, let me easily setup backups on multiple computers to AmEx sure everyone’s files are safe. Highly recommend!

I was a customer of iDrive a few years ago, but left to try other options. After those experiences, I returned to iDrive. I was able to seamlessly use iDrive to backup my Asustor NAS, which was an important feature to me. I had always been satisfied with the iDrive product previously and that continues to the be the case now that I have returned.

Quick and easy

I have been using Idrive and really like the backup features along with the cloud drive options. I am able to access files from multiple locations and automate backups of several different computers. Easy to use and affordable.

I have been using iDrive for at least five years now. I did stray away and went with another service for a year and was not satisfied. iDrive is always right on with performing my needed backups in the background as scheduled. I never notice any performance reduction while iDrive does its thing and I can continue to work on my PC unimpeded. Having the ability to backup multiple machines and platforms is necessary today when most of us work with multiple devices. And I cannot end this review without mentioning the cloud sync folder. No more carrying around portable media to move those current files from one machine to another, awesome!

I've tried most backup services for Mac. I wanted something simple and reliable and good value for money. I think 5TB for around £40 is great value. The Mac desktop app is slick and full of features and I can upload my archive files too.

Seamless installation and configuration. I was backing up my drives in under 5 minutes.

I'm very happy with my subscription to IDrive. I have 10TB of storage and I particularly like the fact that once something is uploaded, it is never removed unless I run a specific process. App is very easy to use and good features too.

This is the first time I signed up for an online backup system. Up until now I always just used external hard disks. I was just worried that anything online would be heavy on my cpu and slow to use. Now I am actually sorry I waited for so long. IDrive is very straightforward to use and it just works. I have set IDrive to automatically back up any changed files once a day. If I am not online it simply waits until next time my PC is online and does the backup immediately. As it only backs up changed files, it literally only takes seconds for my documents. All unchanged documents are skipped. And I can easily change these settings if I am working with important stuff, so it backs up continually, or once an hour. I also love that IDrive is neither Google nor Microsoft. Don't get me wrong, I like and use Gmail and Windows products and services, but it is nice that an independent company is looking after my backups. I am more than happy to recommend IDrive and even happier that I now have a great online backup service.

Cannot look at individual files. If you up load a folder you cnnot see wats in it.

So far so good. This is definitely better than the Nord cloud service I had before. The user interface is easier to use and the speed of the uploads is quick. I would highly recommend.

The sign-up process was quick and easy as was the process of ordering the Express Drive to back up my data locally and have it restored by iDrive to reduce the time of doing the initial backup. This is a great benefit of using the iDrive backup service. The process of backing up my data on all of my devices was quick and easy. The software is very intuitive and easy to use.

I needed a storage for pictures and other valuable documents for private useage . I have tried ASUS Cloud, Amazon, Google and a couple of others and all of them fails on backing up some files, the less functional mobile application stability, too complicated or is ridiculously expensive. All felt weak on encryption security. IDRIVE works perfect for me and shows great stability also on Iphone. They also offer private keys for security and theat is quite unique. I don't feel great to share things to Google or any country in ASIA. On top, it doesn't cost a fortune. I am so excited, i found IDRIVE which is reliable, cheap and also very fast. IDrive is quite ahead of the competition.

Sign up was super quick and easy. The software install was straightforward but most importantly getting the drives, folders and files selected for scheduling backup was effortless.

The backup service is great. It would been better if the client for windows or mac can be able to see the backup place. As for me I transferred everything from my NAS to idrive as im getting ready to replace my nas storage. The client program isnt so friendly.

Works great has generous data limit and is quite fast only real complaint is that the ui is quite clunky and hard to get tasks done. But the experience is otherwise fine and is great value for the money overall i highly recommend it.

After researching storage options, it was clear IDrive was the most recommended. However, there is inadequate documentation and the tutorials available are not helpful. It would be nice to have an online user guide with step by step instructions for syncing and backing up files and using the scheduling option.

Pricing is very good, providing better value per byte than its main competitors. It does exactly what it says on the box and it does it both smoothly and logically, with a GUI that doesn't take a week to come to terms with. My original backup (ca 4T data) took a predictably very long time to upload but, once that was out of the way, everything else worked nicely.
