5/15/2023 0 Comments Idrive reviews 2015First, you must sign up for a new account. But feature set and setup classify it as almost an entirely separate product. IDrive for Mac supplies a similar enough interface and experience that it didn’t warrant any additional screenshots in the gallery. Enabling “continuous” backups will have the software check periodically for changes to files and back them up. Heavy users will be pleased to see that the IDrive Portable option can be purchased with data pre-loaded on it, thus significantly decreasing rebuild times after a catastrophic failure.Īn interesting feature is that IDrive can wake a PC or Mac from sleep/hibernate to run a backup. IDrive Pro adds the ability to add additional accounts so multiple users can log into the web interface to manage files. One will also get access to better support by signing up, and larger plans allow for multiple computers to share the space. I was able to upload at the same speed to IDrive’s servers as I did when I reviewed Mozy Home, so without a better definition of what “good” versus “better” performance is, I wasn’t able to find a speed limit. IDrive Pro upgrades your storage and claims to have “better” performance according to the comparison chart found on their website, which can be found here. The free 2 GB 5 GB IDrive Basic account is a fully-featured product offering, and gives a very good indication of what you can expect from the paid IDrive service. The review will touch upon each of these solutions with the exception of Sync due to its beta nature (and not easily found on the website), and EVS since it’s not really a consumer or SOHO/SMB product. IDrive EVS, an API for Developers to use cloud storage for their applications.IDrive Sync, a beta product that will compete with Dropbox.IDrive Lite, a contact sync solution for smartphones.IDrive for Mac, which is different enough that I would separate it out as its own product.IDrive Portable, a hard drive backup solution I’ll discuss further into this review.In addition to the options listed above, they also have several additional offerings under the “IDrive” brand. IDrive’s product lineup follows this rather diverse and confusing trend. IDrive Pro for Business accounts range from 50 GB to 1000 GB.(This options allows up to 5 PCs on the same account.) 150 GB personal use IDrive Pro account is $4.95/month or $49.50/year.2 GB 5 GB IDrive Basic account is free.Here’s a quick breakdown of the IDrive Plans: Take a look at the chart here since it makes more sense in a visual representation. The IDrive product lineup is arguably the most confusing part of the whole IDrive experience. It has a large and complete feature set, and caters to all levels of users through its complete (but somewhat confusing) product lineup. IDrive is a well-established company among the cloud-based backup vendors.
