IDrive Reviews

Very easy to set up and when automated keeps up with files being saved to the cloud. Couldn't be better than that.

Haven't found a Con for idrive as of yet.

I very enjoy how easy it is to use the software. Although I've only had cloud storage from Idrive for a few weeks, I love the peace of mind knowing my data is backed up should anything happen to my external hard drives.

Not many cons that I can think of. Perhaps including a way to download cloud files without having to install idrive software on a computer.

The introductory offer was cheap so that’s good

Customer service left a lot to be desired

This product is easy to setup and I like the fact that I can use my subscription to backup multiple computers using only 1 account.

User interface is good but could use a little improvement.

It is ease to use, and they have good support.

The initial upload of all data was a bit slow

I find it easy to use, and I relief to find a drive that meets my needs.

It was a bit difficult to sign up for, somewhat confusing.

IDrive is very easy to use. It automatically creates online backups and does not require specific knowledge at all

Although the software uses automatic settings, there are a lot of settings you can adjust manually. This might seem a bit overwhelming, although the automatic settings are perfect for most users.

Ease of use, comprehensive dashboard, ample storage at a reasonable price pay per storage not per desk. Lots of configuration options and customization. Very good live phone support.

Really don’t have any complaints at this time.

First, it works reliably. As simple as this sounds, some competitor products do not work reliably, and the solution is to uninstall and reinstall the software. The performance of iDrive has been solid.

The software is not smart enough to figure out the last backup did not run and communicate it somehow or just launch the backup. The problem is, if your computer is off during the scheduled time, the backup will not run, and you may not find out about it. A solution would be to leave your computer on 24x7.

User interface and functions provided for backup and cloud drive. Value for money.

The initial option for the personal plan starts at 5 TB storage.

Easy to use and it has a mobile client that I can reference files as/when needed

I do not like the way it displays files AND folders all together in the mobile client. I am used to seeing folders first, then files.

Huge storage for a price. Actually it is slightly too big for me. It gives me peace of mind that my files are secured and backed up in the cloud, and that I can recover them in no time. Also I can reach files on my mobile phone as sometimes my clients ask me to send the files when I am on the move.

It takes time to get used to it and find out how everything works. Also it would be nice to have feature that I could see the backed up photos.

IDrive offers an affordable and secure backup system, featuring military-grade AES 256-bit encryption and the option for a private encryption key. The ability to back up an unlimited number of devices on a single account, coupled with the flexibility to create unique folders for each device, is a significant advantage. These features make IDrive particularly well-suited for businesses that require robust data protection and customization options.

So far everything has worked properly. For large capacity backups the price is a bit expensive.

Well I liked it is cheaper, and the support is also decent. But not great

The aspects of google drive back, and even backing up using express drive is not proper. Continuous issues. Tried google workspace back like 4-5 times. Failed all the times and the drive files did not copy. Same with Express drive. They sent a hard disk to copy the files, but the hard disk is not working properly and causing connection issues.

Ease of use and good software design. There aren't many services that offer 10TB of storage for such a price. The ability to backup your internal/external drive or SD card is great!

The fact that restoring a backup would only restore it to the exact location it was backed up from. You are unable to choose where to download the backed up files to. For example, I backed up files from an SD card to free up space on said SD card. If I wanted to restore those files at a later stage, they have to be restored to that same SD card or the drive letter that the card was initially issues. This is a minor inconvenience but nothing major.

Daily backup option + Ability to restore old revised files + Cloud drive

It's worth it, though a lower price might be even better.

I love knowing that my files are safe and available to me even if I lose any of my backed up hardware. I also love that I can access the files online through my online iDrive account even if I don't have my computer or tablet with me.

It was a little difficult to figure out how to set up my initial backup and future scheduled backups. It would be nice to have some simplified instructions on what our options are and possibly the recommended settings to ensure we are protecting our files adequately.

Backups are a pain! I have external drives and wires everywhere and I hate them. Even though I keep local physical backups, but what would happen if there was a fire or flood? Knowing everything is backed up daily to the cloud puts my mind at ease and it's extremely affordable. I'm on a MAC and it works flawlessly.

I don't have any cons. This is exactly what I need. It's affordable, easy to use and does exactly what I need.
