One of the biggest downfalls to IDrive is that it only stores 30 versions of a file, so files are only backed up to the 30th most recent change. The True Archive feature also ensures that no data is removed from IDrive unless you manually delete it. IDrive also has a trash folder, where deleted files are kept for 30 days, to guard against accidental deletions. From any browser, you can access your files, as well as search for and restore them. Retrieving discarded files is also easy with IDrive. You can also manage your backup schedule, view backup logs, and access your files from any browser, anywhere. Bandwidth is conserved by the service transferring only modified portions of files. Each backup is compressed, speeding up backup times. IDrive uses an incremental backup schedule, which makes for a comprehensive backup experience. The interface is designed with a certain familiarity, which should make use relatively simple for most people. IDrive’s backup and restore features are easy to use and fully customizable, but not to the level that some of our higher-ranked services have been. IDrive offers backup of unlimited PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Android devices to a single account. One of the best features of IDrive is the ability to back up more than one computer to your account, where other providers only allow one computer to be backed up. With 4TB, you could comfortably back up about four hard drives or computers. IDrive doesn’t offer unlimited storage, but with a range of storage from 300GB to 4TB, users will find a plan to fit their needs. Also, being able to back up an unlimited number of computers and devices is awesome, if you can afford to purchase enough storage space to do so. Simple, yet easy to use interfaces, as well as the option to access your account and data from any device, make the service flexible for users. With some very unique features and ample storage, IDrive Online Backup offers customers a choice in online backup.
