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.”
KC

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”

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.”

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