Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used IDrive for several years on both my business and personal computers at home and office. I use IDrive as insurance against any type of computer hack, failure, incursion or undetected defect. I know my files and docs are safely stored in the Cloud, and if I have any problems or severe threats, I feel IDrive has my back.

Pros and Cons

Super easy to download, setup, set preferences and key account settings.
The first back-up took all night, but after that the back-ups are quick, seamless, and always on-time per my preferernces.
I love the confirmations and details on each and every back-up start-up and completion. Very informative and reassuring.
Very easy to get back anything that I may forgotten to save or replace during the work.
Can't think of anything negative at this time! Thank you IDrive!

Most Important Features

Very flexible set-up for automatically scheduled Back-ups - lots of options.
Backs up quickly, completely and without hassle or issues.
Love the feedback on successful (or failed) back-ups.
Ease of sourcing any files or docs lost that need to retrieved from the back-up on the Cloud. Whew!

Return on Investment

Peace of mind; my safety net in a world of threats; and quiet confidence without the worry.
Super easy for first-timers but with enough umph, options and coverage for more seasoned customers and businesses.

Alternatives Considered

IDrive is more user friendly and flexible across multiple areas of back-up as needed.

Likelihood to Recommend

I don't use IDrive for any back-up on my cell phones, but for my personal laptop and business desktop, I think the service is wonderful, runs behinds the scenes perfectly, does the back-up when and now I want/need it, and then confirms that each and every back-up either was success or for some reason did not complete. But 99.9% of the time the back-up was successful and it lets me know.

Super easy to use and works perfectly.
