IDrive Online Backup Reviews

There is insufficient (no) documentation on how to set security properties and what they should be set to. I suggest that there should be a getting started document that would walk the user through setting up and running the backup of a single directory. The directory could be a sample created for the purpose. This would give the new user a chance to learn how to use the software before expanding to a full backup.

iDrive is a terrific backup service. This is because - for me- it keeps multiple copies of modified documents as well as documents that I have subsequently deleted on my computer. It has saved by @^%#$ several times. Well worth the price.

I am a new customer and so far it is amazing. The setup and configuration of my multiple computers was exactly what I was looking for.

I was looking for large file storage option and iDrive seemed like a seamless solution. However, I was never able to fully upload a large file despite having purchased 5TB of storage. I guess if you are doing an OS back, iDrive seems to fine for that, but trying to back a single file over a TB in size didn't happen for me.

I am running Linux servers and desktop. Linux backup is easy to setup, if you are used to Linux command lines. Works well. I am glad. :-)

I have been a heavy user of cloud storage since I have been writing code and designing electronic devices for many years. I started with external hard drives - this method has many disadvantages, I will not list them. Then Apple's Time Machine is a good program, but it works in the background if you are near it (Wi-Fi or a physical hard drive), and I have several Macs and Windows machines at my disposal, and besides, I have to work in different cities, out of the office. Tried: GoogleDrive, OneDrive, FBakap, IcloudDrive, YandexDisk and some others -- my conclusion == these clouds are not for professional reliable work! In recent years, I have been using the most reliable storage that fully meets my professional needs - Mega.nz But mega has only one drawback - encryption of the data synchronization stream - it heavily loads processors - not all of my computers do this easily - there is a processor overheating - I had to turn off real-time synchronization on these computers. I continued searching for clouds and accidentally found iDrive I have been using the program for the second week - it is an ideal program for my business: it does not contain additional programs that make no sense to me (mail, music, chats and infinitely many others) It has the main thing for me: creating and storing copies of file versions for an unlimited time, convenient search for the desired file version, real-time file synchronization, an extremely simple and logically understandable management and configuration system, as a bonus I received - creating backup copies from a file to discs on a super flexible schedule. Restoring an accidentally deleted project went quickly and in full, like a cherry on a cake - online support from iDrive !! Today I recommend to everyone -- heavy program Mega ( if you have secret ) data . If your date is normal, but you have no right to lose it - just iDrive!!

I like that IDrive is automatic, I get peace of mind knowing that if my computer fails, my information is still safe and recoverable.

I recently purchased an 8gig backup drive and decided to enroll in a 5gig iDrive account for a year. It was easy to set up for the two home laptops. I am still trying to figure out how to back up the two external dives but I am happy to have the service for extra peace of mind.

IDrive installed very easily and allowed me to be up and backing-up my data very quickly. Having just had a hard drive cash, I wanted to ensure a reliable and safe online back-up of my data. IDrive met this need.

I am very unsure about iDrive... they promise a refund of my annual backup fee by leaving a review on this site. I did that, and was then forced to complete a very probing questionnaire, which I did, and my review was accepted and posted here! However, I cannot get past the "You need the code". This stole my trust of iDrive, so I asked 3 times for a refund via email (as I am within my trial period), yet iDrive ignores my emails, and sends out form emails. NOPE... so I reversed my CC payment. I cannot trust my data storage to a company who plays games like this with their customers. Who does that?

Excellent speed and storage options. The best out there currently!

I had iDrive several years ago but chose not to renew it because I didn't want to pay for backup anymore. Well, my computer crashed recently - the dreaded blue screen of death - and I lost a lot of important work. At that moment, the fee seemed so insignificant compared to the cost in time and money to replace the lost records. I happily re-signed up with iDrive and feel good knowing that every morning at 3:00am my computer is backed up.

Hi, was looking for a cloud storage solution to migrate my data from another provider. The whole registration and payment went well however at the setup and App installation phase i didnt feel comfortable - as the iDrive drive wasn’t appearing (as i expected) in my Mac Finder. Decided not to proceed at this point.

Highly user-friendly cloud back-up system. I am able to back-up my files from laptops, phones, and hard-drives. Perfect!

Was the cheapest storage I could find. I just needed to backup my hard drive backups so it's not being regularly. So far so good.

I used backup scripts for linux and they are really easy to use. Can be paused and re-tried.

The user-friendly setup and installation was far better than any other tool I have used in the past. Once setup, I had many other options for backup which was not offered by their competitors. If you want a complete system backup solution, this is your product.

I joined IDrive after we had a cyber attack on our institution and some of my friend's computers got locked with a ransom demand. The only thing they could do was to format their hard drives and start from zero. I tried to figure out how to protect my computer (firewall/antivirus), but quickly was told by our computer experts that the best protection is simply to backup my data in the cloud. I ran a survey checking the various online cloud services from Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon's AWS storage, Dropbox, and others. I decided to join IDrive as I think they give the best return on a relatively low price and had excellent reviews. Using IDrive in the past week and a half, I already backup all my computer. The service is fast, high quality at a low competitive cost. I defined my computer to sync at night, and in two-three days everything was already backed-up. It continues to synchronize every night so it doesn't disturb my work. I think it worth every cent paid as we are all highly dependent on our data and work computer.

I've been looking at cloud back up for some time..Idrive offer a great start rate and one of largest back up amounts... Definitely worth a try.

Super easy to setup. No need for any type of technical background So far so good
