An ideal Cloud Backup solution.
Overall Satisfaction with IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2
After getting tired of Cloud Based services I decided to get a NAS, and have that automatically backed up to the cloud.
Spent a few hours on 'best of' lists tried IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 first because of the clarity of their offerings, example vids of folks setting up and using IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2, and their 30 Day Money Back guarantee. This way I could see if it did what I needed.
Thankfully, it was exactly what I needed! Didn't even have to try another, or even consider the 30 Day Money Back.
After creating my account, I installed the Windows Desktop App as well as the Asustor NAS App started selecting folders for backup.
Here's where I had the only moment of uncertainty - the App offers sa lot of flexibility with Local Drives, Mapped Drives, etc... I wasn't immediately sure what option I needed, but the App is intuitive enough that I eventually found exactly what I needed after clicking into the various sections.
So, chose files for my first back up, scheduled it, pressed 'Backup now' heard it reading from the NAS and in about half an hour I got an email summary of the backup. An ideal experience!

Using IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 in 2024 reminded me of the early days when OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox where actually useful, streamlined, interested in being great cloud storage apps and not just a 'lock in' to constantly push other products on you.
IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 setup was quick, easy & fast. Getting to know the Windows and NAS App was easy, and so I was able to have my files backed up to the web super easy.
One would hope a cloud-storage backup service would focus on doing that exactly well, and IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 does.
