"Just the Backup App I was looking for"
What do you like best about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

It was very easy to use. I went from purchase to starting my backups in a matter of minutes and after a day or two (I've a lot of files!) I had all my files backed upon on the cloud. Seriously, that easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

I think you need to know your way around your PC - folders etc - so unless you're somewhat computer literate, you're going to find it tough.

That said if you're looking for such software, then you're likely not going to have a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"First Time iDrive Cloud Backup User"
What do you like best about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

My computer technician recommended iDrive to me after noticing I wasn't backing up most of my files. I had never used a cloud based application. He explained how it worked and I decided to join the iDrive community. Its worked very well for me. Account setup was very easy. Launching the product was very straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

So far, I've not encountered anything I would truly describe as a dislike. I'm learning about cloud based applications and this is my first time to use one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient and easy to set up, but could be cheaper"
What do you like best about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

It is easy to schedule regular backups, even when you are using Linux. Additionally I like that I can backup data from both my Laptop and Smartphone.

Also all data is encrypted, which is important to me personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

It could be cheaper, as it is pricier than some other options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use. Set and forget"
What do you like best about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

I'm a former long-term Backblaze user who switched due to concerns about BBs future. I have found IDrive to be simple to set up and configure. To manage bandwidth use I opted to backup my main folders initially and then, once that was complete, I added more folders over a couple of days.

I like the daily schedule option and the fact that I can easily switch to hourly backups if I am being productive and creating lots of docs etc.

I also like the fact that the account includes the option to install the IDrive app on my phones to backup the photos and contacts etc and its all going to the same backup destination.

I have tried a couple of test restores and they work quickly and efficiently.

IDrive is installed as an app on my Windows 11 desktop - but I also like using the browser based options which are much more responsive than the Backblaze equivalent for restores etc.

Overall this is a feature-rich solution that seems very secure and is easy to set up and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

The only issue that I didn't like was during the initial big backup. Other devices on my local network became sluggish to access the web or email. This was only during the first backup though. There has been no impact on responsiveness since that completed. I did try using the "throttling" control to leave some bandwidth available for the network, but that seemed to reduce the upload to 2Mbps no matter what throttling percentage I chose. A good solution for ongoing use is to add new backup folders in the late evening to backup overnight when no-one is using the web etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and easy win for this non-tech savvy mom"
What do you like best about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

It was very easy to implement and remains easy to use. That says a lot considering I am not only tech "unsavvy" but also was reluctant to accept how many bad people are out here stealing personal information - even people within our own current or previous circles. I've lost everything from a surprise hard drive failure before and the peace of mind with iDrive, along with how usable it is and the automation of it, makes it worth far more than the competitive price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

There isn't anything I dislike about the product, just my own lack of knowledge. Some of what I see as advanced features, and there are plenty, are just outside of my wheelhouse as a nearly senior mom who hasn't been in a career that relied much on computer technology. I look forward to using all that comes with my subscription as I move along the slight learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"More customizable than Backblaze"
What do you like best about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

I switched from backblaze to IDrive and so far I love the faster speed and customization for what specific folders I want backed up. In backblaze I had to select which folders I wanted to exclude (which were a lot), and with IDrive I am able to just select the folders I wanted. It seems much more user friendly and it’s more affordable for my usage needs - so yay! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

I was hoping the speeds would be a little faster but they are faster than the system I previously used at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best Backup Service I have used"
What do you like best about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

After researching various backup services, I decided to sign up for IDrive, and I’ve been using it for a while to back up my computer, which is nearly 1 TB in size. The service and app was very easy to install and it quickly and efficiently created a mirror copy of my system, and now it performs incremental backups every night that take only a minute or two.

One of the standout features of IDrive is their exceptional tech support. I’ve contacted them a few times, and I was pleased to speak with a knowledgeable representative—something that’s unfortunately rare these days. Their 24/7 support truly sets them apart.

I highly recommend IDrive to anyone in need of a reliable cloud backup solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDrive Online and SaaS Backup, Object Storage e2?

I don't find anything that I dislike but I would like if the Sharedrive they offer would need to be in Synch with a local drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
