Overall Satisfaction with IDrive
I am using the 10TB yearly personal plan. My main use of the IDrive service is data backup and syncing across multiple computers. Although the backup process could be made faster, the subscription plan is absolutely worth the value for all the features it provides. In my work, I usually deal with TBs of data and I need the data stored forever. It has many tools to manage scheduling and error handling. It uses 256-bit encryption which is relatively secure, and it gives the user the option to have their own encryption as well.
- Its desktop application has a lot of handy tools accessible.
- Provides a lot of storage.
- Data archiving seems to be quite good.
- Making the backup process a bit faster especially when dealing with a large number of files.
- Security
- Data archiving
- Cloud drive for syncing across devices
- Entire machine backup
- It's a net positive ROI
Google Drive is pretty clunky and its syncing gave me headaches. Dropbox is fast and reliable but has become very expensive. OneDrive takes up a lot of bandwidth and made my computer slow. I use Box only through institutional login and it's not that affordable as an individual user when dealing with large amounts of data. Overall, I like IDrive so far. It can add more features akin to Box, but I am not sure if it's feasible without making the subscription fee much higher.
