Pros

I signed up to download videos from someone who stores on Mega - when I try to download I get the error “insufficient disk space” even though the video is only 1GB and I have 15GB free on my iPad and 3TB free in Mega.

CEO

“I like the file sharing capability and storage even with the free version it will allow a certain amount of upload and download size for free.”
WL

Whitney L.

Small Business Owner

“I think it's a software that even if it was to pay for it would be worth it.”

Pros

“Once configured, it has delivered consistent backups without issues, and the combination of scheduling, versioning and notifications makes it feel like excellent value for the price.”
JE

Jamie E.

Analyst

“As well as using iDrive for remote access of my data when I'm on another device on the go, I have fully retrieved my data when a device failed (PC and laptop), without the need to get a tech to pull the data out for me.”

Kimberly C.

Certified Online Business Manager

“Overall, it has some lacks in the storage like syncing, fast access. But, at the same time the pricing is good”

CEO

Cons

“My home internet service maxes out at 10mpbs upload speeds, which was making my initial backup of over 300gb of files take a long time.”
RB

Robert B.

Host, Producer

“My upload speed to iDrive cloud backup is unusually slow, causing significant delays in backing up my files.”
HL

Haixun L.

Development Expert

“Sometimes the navigation in cloud drive folders gets stuck and you need to reload the page, but that's no big deal.”
