Overall Satisfaction with IDrive

I'm so tired of paying for multiple cloud storage accounts and still running out of storage space on both my phone and laptops. I currently have a Microsoft One Drive, Google Cloud, Google Photos, ICloud, and DropBox account, and it's exahausting keeping track of where all my data is (expensive paying for multiple subscriptions. So, I just tried IDrive for the first time and to be honest, I'm not ready to cancel my other cloud accounts just yet. I have high hopes and have already downloaded and used the app to upload my 14,000 photos and videos. So far it has been an awesome and seamless experience and the app is pretty easy to use even if you are not tecch savvy.
  • tracking your time to upload and backup photos, showing you what is remaining
  • ease of use with the app
  • great options for uploading in "night mode"
  • well, I am used to a more organized layout , like being able to sort data by file/date/ etc
  • when it comes auto backup, I've found it's a little wonky and should have an option to only backup new data or choose a date to backup from
  • date/ file type/ backup date
  • cut down on storage cloud subscriptionss
  • organized my data in one place

Well, I need more time for this but I have used it a few times and I have found when it is in auto back up mode, it tries to backup the same data everytime it is turned on...I'd prefer a setting that auto backsup according to the date of last backup so it doesn't repeat (backing up multiple copies of the same files) Maybe they can add a feature setting to select backing up only new data (like microsoft photos app) or allow you to choose a date to backup ....or show you the last backup date and sugest a new backup after that date so there is no reapeat of data backing up and wasting storage space but it is a really good software program in all
