Overall Satisfaction with IDrive
I use this to back up my laptop. This is a fast easy way to get all my files backed up when I need to switch to a new laptop. Unfortunately, IT no longer allows this to work as of a few days ago. I think they changed the firewall settings and it is not on the approved list for use by employees.
- Backup of hard drive
- Back up on a schedule
- Recovering files
- It was helpful but didn't solve all my issues
- The interface could be more user friendly
- The desktop app could have a better user experience
- It was useful when swapping out laptops
- It would have been useful as a secondary backup
- It would have been useful as a way to access files remotely
- It would have been a time saver
- It would have been a money saver
- It would have been a way to access files remotely
- Box
I prefer Box for the way it works but it is more expensive for what you get. I don't think my preference of the box interface is worth the extra cost over IDrive so that helped make my decision. I think that the overall services are comparable to one another though.
