I currently use Carbonite which doesn't really allow me to request a backup on demand especially when I have added significant new files. So I had been looking for a replacement. I did some google searches and that's how I found iDrive. I was immediately thrilled to see their feature "backup now" which is essentially in my business. So far, I am very happy with how files are backed up and viewable online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything that i dislike yet. I have read online that they might raise the price. At present, for me the price is right, so i hope they retain the current pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface takes some time to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is very easy to use. I was able to choose what I want to backup and initiate the backup without any trouble at all. I also like that I can include external drives in my backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The backup is taking several days over my cable internet connection. I understand that I could have had iDrive send me a drive, which I could have used for my initial backup and sent back, that just seemed too inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup is straight-forward and allows full customization of the files and folders that you want to be backed up. The backups occur automatically based on your desired schedule, so you can just set it and forget it without ever worrying about data loss. Version history is a great feature that allows you to maintain a backup of older file versions, which has been very useful for me on many occasions when I needed to restore older files. The backup summaries and alerts are also handy so you can be notified if a backup does not complete successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface feels a little dated and it can be cumbersome if you want to select individual files and folders for backup and restoration. The upload speed was also quite slow for the initial backup, but this has been less of an issue for the scheduled incremental backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It performs as advertised and there is nothing complicated about. Installation, activation, and press run it is all very easy. No problems and I feel secure knowing that my computers are backup online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some computers that it has a hard time working on. I have a desktop that has a lot of files saved on the cloud and for a while it would run and quit because of what I assume was too much to process. I had to workaround and break up the folders into different parts so that IDrive would backup everything. Not too bad though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most important thing about IDrive online back up is that I am able to secure my data including photos, emails, vidoes, documents and even contacts from my Iphone, Laptop, and Android phones into one cloud storage where all my data is securely held. In the event that I change my phones or laptop, I can easily retrieve it and restore it with one simple log in - no more Apple iCloud needed for me where I can save that portion of the money and apply it towards IDrive and the beauty is I can use all my devices to back up - not just iphone to Apple iCloud only. This is awesome, convenient, easy, and secure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only problem I encountered was backing up my external hard drive but then IDrive has 24/7 technical support that was able to help out easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I stumbled on this cloud storage just by chance, with very little to go by after lot of research using Google and Reddit. Still I took a chance of trying out IDrive and boy, I was amazed. Being in India, other than the major cloud players like Gdrive, OneDrive etc., upload and download speeds tend to be extremely slow but IDrive was just amazing. Nearly 300gb of data I was able to upload in about 4-5 hours. And both their windows app and the ios app was so pleasant to use and very functional. It may not be eye catchy but it does its job with amazing efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So nothing much to dislike but a thing for improvement would be to improve the UX of your apps (at least the windows and ios apps that I have used) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had the unfortunate situation to get a replacement Android phone when my previous bricked hard.

After purchasing a new Samsung the staff realized I had activated Google cloud backup service on my crashed phone so I could activate restore action on the new phone.

My regret was insufficient Cloud to backup all the photos I kept on the phone.

The price per space on iDrive was a lot cheaper than Google's and I was only able to increase a fraction of the space on Google cloud. I now have sufficient space and more on iDrive's cloud and am so much more at ease with the extra space available as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Took a bit of trial and error using the android interface. But all's good now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
