Overall Satisfaction with IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage
Being within media production I generate a lot data, I backup locally to a Synology NAS but needed to have an offsite backup solution in place, having run out of space on Google Workspace and not having the option to upgrade my storage there without significant cost I decided to move my backup to IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage. It took 3 or 4 days to back up the first time, which is completely understandable. Now it's in place it backs up my data twice a day and gives me peace of mind knowing that my backup strategy is solid. It's just been running happily in the background ever since the initial installation (which was easy, they have an app for Synology). Easy, works great, can access anywhere, they have phone apps and desktop apps... Very good would recommend.
- Easy to set up
- Hands off NAS backup
- Notifications
- Access Everywhere
- Would like to see favourites in the desktop and mobile apps
- UI on desktop app could be improved, larger icons and type
- Saved money for off site storage
- Simplified backup strategy
- Simplified sharing and reduced cost for sharing large files
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...
