IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 would suite the most for:
- Photographers or videographers who seek for a safe and reliable backup solution for the raw and larger volumes of data
- Cloud Drive to sync the most used data or data which requires access frequently
- Data protection/data encryption
- Automatic backup
- Custom sharing options
For small volumes of data maybe a more simple free solution with more intuitive user interface would suit better.

This is a great solution for personal or small businesses. With no dedicated IT department it falls on the owner to make sure the company's data is safe in case of local failure. IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 was simple to setup on our 3 computers. The option to upgrade to more storage makes it a good solution if demand requires more space.

I love IDrive, I recommended it this issue in the technology magazine I edit. When I moved between Synology devices, IDrive made it easy for me to access all my important files and then download a backup to my local devices. It also means that it's faster to access my files on IDrive over a business connection than it is my Synology over a residential connection.

IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage is not useful for me at all. I need a backup system that can actually back up my files. And they have been stringing me along with tech support for weeks. I don't expect to receive a resolution.

I like the available options for storage pricing and having multiple services bundled together like file backup and disc imaging is a better value than some of the competition. The program is unobtrusive and doesn't tax my computer at all. Giving a simple notification when the processes are complete is all I see. It's easy to customize too. It's great for small businesses and there's an opportunity to expand services if the need arises.

For me, I appreciate the functionality and performance of IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage, although I have noticed that it requires manual reuploading of files after disconnections, unlike other cloud storage services that automatically resume uploads. However, overall, it remains a reliable and efficient solution for my storage needs.

Due to my experience with iDrive I would recommend it to colleagues for a couple of reasons. iDrive is very cost effective even with the recent price hikes. iDrive has a high level of uptime. And the overall platform is simple to use, even for the non-IT crowd.

IDrive is fine for my personal 1-2-3 backup scenario. I'll think that's safe and will help me if I lose some data. Normally I have an HD with images, a NAS for a backup copy, and the Cloud for a secure copy. That's all I need for a good backup plan for my photographs.

iDrive was easy and fast to setup. At the moment I am using it mainly for personal reasons, but looking for the right time to use it simultaneously, in the office and at home. It is suited for for someone who looks for a lokal backup for unlimited devices for up to 5 TB per account. I chose a promotion of 24.88 US for the first year. This is an excellent value and gives me plenty of time to evaluate it. Beside occasionally slow upload speed I didn’t come across disadvantages so far.

IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage is especially suited to my business and personal uses since I regularly make changes in old files and constantly create new ones. Since it backs up automatically, I am assured that old and new files will be saved.
If someone does not have as many files as I do or doesn't make as many changes, they might not need IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage.

Ideally suited for my daily videos. Using phone to shoot, upload to iDrive cloud and then retrieve to edit in Premiere Pro on desktop. Encoded back to the iDrive cloud and then posted via phone. I haven't really come across or experienced any scenarios that iDrive would prove to be less than appropriate.
