I've found IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 to be faster. The user dashboard can mirror the hard drive. Set up was easy and quick. Storage is more than adequate for our purposes. I get a daily report of files that have been included in the backup, which lists any new or changed files. So far so good.

IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 allows multiple computers on a single account. There is a 5TB option for small business at half the price of Back Blaze's unlimited plan. IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 allows for the backup of an external hard drive and a courier recovery option.

Cheaper, easier GUI. Gets the job done. Like a server, "set it aforget it"Has good storage capacity. Cust service is helpfull but sometimes not real clear. Am using Degoo cloud which is a browser tuned backup. i-Drive way better in all aspects except backup capacity for which it is about 6 Tb short 10 vs 4.

I used to use Backblaze but recently had a computer hardware failure and found many of the files that were supposed to be backed up were in fact missing. Fortunately I was able to recover them from my local Time Machine backup but I lost all trust in Backblaze and moved to iDrive

IDrive is the most cost-effective backup solution out there. All the other big name providers like Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft, charge over 5 times more for way less storage than IDrive provides. IDrive also syncs just as seamlessly with my Synology as those other services, so it's a win-win for me personally.

I decided to choose IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage based on the numerous positive reviews I came across. After comparing it with popular alternatives like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox, I found that IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage offers better pricing, features, and storage capacity that align perfectly with my requirements. It's reassuring to know that I've made the right choice for my storage needs.

IDrive is better to use for fully backing up my NAS, it continues to work when I am not there. Therefore, it is easy and good to use. Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud can be used, but they lack certain functionalities that I found in IDrive. In addition, IDrive has the best price-quality ratio

Those other products save my files as I use them, but they overwrite old files in real time. With Dropbox, if I want to save files that aren't overwritten, I have to upload files online, which is time consuming. They aren't saved per date unless I physically set it up that way.

Google Workspace became unusable as their policy regarding additional storage was ridiculous, to increase my storage space there to 10Tb was fantastically expensive. Dropbox created thousands of duplicate files in web development folders and broke everything. So not a great experience with either of them...
