IDrive Online Backup Reviews

Love the auto backup and daily pop-up notification that it was completed.

I have started an account in idrive to replace B2 that I used for my Synology NAS, no issues till now, I may move PC snapshots too soon. Highly rated service.

I use IDrive to backup my Mac and Synology NAS. It does take a LOT of time for the initial backup (and yes, I have a LOT of data), but very pleased with the service. Intuitive and you can't beat the price. I will be dropping my Synology C2 backup next month

I chose this after the postive write-up from Ars Technica. I didn't have any backup solution, and relied on some cloud storage via OneDrive and iCloud. iDrive seemed like a good fit for what I needed, and gave a free option (10Gb storage) which I used to test out the product. Once I was conviced it was right for me, I got a good deal on moving to a paid tier, with a generous discount from iDrive. I now have 5Tb of storage, more than I'll ever need! Straightforward to use, with lots of good online documentation available. Really pleased with the solution and now have several hundred gigabytes of information safely backed up. I like the ability to back up specific folders or go for a whole drive/device clone. There are also options for backing up servers - although that's not something I need. MfA is also a nice to have. Would recommend you try this out.

I am happy with all the aspects of the product. I think the pricing is very competitive. I was expecting the initial backup to a while, but it was under 48 hours for a 10 TB upload. The backup software's interface is really basic, but it gets the job done. I had to search a bit find some of the options, but they were there. I was very surprised to learn that the backup files are automatically versioned and the DO NOT COUNT against your quota. Hard to beat that!

Great product at an affordable price. Great backup for single systems.

So far so good! I’ve been using IDrive for a couple weeks and it works as I hoped so far.

Hardly know its in background. I've been impressed with this service and hope to keep it operational with my system. Kudos to your team!

Excellent and easy to use product! Helpful support staff. Great product for anyone needing extra storage space and protecting their data. I would recommend IDrive!

Great deal! I’ve been working in on a short film and have been backing it up on 3 external drives but I still was worried about something happening to it. Now that I have it backed up on IDrive I feel way less stressed. IDrive was super fast and easy to use:)

The backup is really fast, better than many competitors when uploading small files. Great amount of space for the price. Maybe the app design can be better but it’s not bad. I recommend it if you need backups with retention.

A good application with automatic backup.

I have been using idrive for a week or so. It has successfully backed up two Mac computers and run every night to back up new files. Have not tried restoring any files yet. Things that could be improved: the Mac program interface is not always clear, and important settings are spread around in different sections. In addition, the instructions for the Express (hard drive shipped for an initial backup) are very poor, with instructions for several different tasks all run together.

Downloaded and installed iDrive in a few minutes, told it what I wanted to back up and just left it to do its thing. Easy. I also like the Continuous Data Protection which I've enabled against the files I'm actively using every day/ It's very encouraging to check the log and see that my precious spreadsheets have just been backed up.

This was so easy I feel like it isn't working. As a graphic designer, I was backing up on external HDs but this gives me better piece of mind. Sometimes not backing up one day can result in a major loss. I had a scare with bitlocker that prompted me to do this. I just set the folders I wanted backed up and that was it. So easy. I had to contact support for a question and they answered me promptly. I haven't used their response yet, but I am confident I can also get help whenever needed. Highly recommend!

Found a review on Arstechnica.com that I trust enough to try iDrive out on my Synology NAS. You always need to backup your data in the cloud and I hadn't done that until I used iDrive.com. It was easy to install and configure. You can control how much upload bandwidth it uses so I don't notice any impact to my normal internet use. The pricing is good and I have no complaints. Highly recommend iDrive to anyone to backup their data into the cloud.

It’s very easy to download all my old pictures saved on an old laptop, and has plenty of space to add more. Easy to setup/install, and easy to use

Bom Serviço com velocidades de transferência boas e suporte para Android, Linux e Windows. Adquiri a conta com 5TB e neste momento uso as APP's Android para backups regulares do Smartphone, bem como a Aplicação Windows para backup do desktop e ainda estou a fazer backup do meu NAS caseiro que corre debian Linux para a iDrive muito facilmente. Recomendo.

IDrive is a very easy to use software, and their automated backup solutions work well enough as to where I can set it, and not have to worry. However, their Mac client is somewhat lacking, as I can't do a full disk backup, unlike the windows client. I also think it would be nice if the Cloud Drive had more features, such as previews, EPUB reading, and document editing. Overall, IDrive is a great, cheap backup solution

Easy to use. Reasonable price. Makes me sleep well!
