Overall Satisfaction with IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2

This is a consumer review, but signing in via LinkedIn forces a business review. And ironically, my company doesn't allow 3rd party apps like IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2. However, for the 1st week that I tried IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 (before my company blocked the desktop app), it worked wonderfully. It was intuitive and backing up the local files on my computer was incredibly easy. In addition, I mapped one of my hard drives and was backing it by piecemeal (i.e., every 100 gigabytes took me a few hours). Everything was working well, and the incremental backups I performed every couple of days were super efficient. But then my company blocked the app, and after calls to my company's help desk and a call to IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 tech support were not able to resolve the situation, I will be - unfortunately - cancelling my subscription. If you are using a personal computer or your company allows the app, I would highly recommend for ease of use and reasonable pricing.

Pros

  • Efficient back-ups of local computer
  • Reasonable pricing
  • Ability to map and back up a hard drive

Cons

  • Speed of backups are slower than desired
Ease of use, reasonable pricing, fast incremental back-ups
OneDrive pricing is cost-prohibitive for the amount of storage I need, but it has a pretty good immediate back-up process.
