My experience has turned into a financial nightmare. I have been double-charged—once for my agreed monthly service and again for a full year without my consent. This is predatory and unethical. I am currently evaluating legal options to recover the unauthorized funds and will never use this service again. I strongly advise others to monitor their bank statements closely if they use this company.
Pros: The initial setup was straightforward and the interface is relatively easy to navigate for basic backups. However, any positive experience has been completely overshadowed by their current billing practices.
Cons: The lack of transparency regarding billing and plan changes is unacceptable. I was successfully billed my monthly rate of $11.84 on March 26, 2026, only to have an unauthorized charge of $118.41 taken from my bank the very next day for a 'Yearly' plan I never requested. Additionally, the cancellation process includes 'scare tactics,' claiming files will be 'permanently deleted' immediately upon ending auto-renewal. Their official 'Transaction Summary' doesn't even account for the large sum they actually withdrew from my bank, which is a massive discrepancy.

With the "online" tutorials, it is becoming easier to use. I would actually give it 4.5 stars now....
Pros: It had saved some files, I didn't know about. I thought they were lost forever. In fact, it downloads a complete drive.
Cons: It is still complicated to use. Definitely a learning experience. Having to see the help files (tutorials) several times to get the process right.
Stephan B. · owner · Information Services · March 19, 2026
It has been a good experience, but it should be taken with care when it comes to pricing, as you might have suprrises
Pros: Good choice with big capacity and connectivity troughout a lot of different products such a Microsoft, etc. Great online technology
Cons: The price somehow changes. Sometimes you get a huge discount and sometimes you pay a lot. It would be great to have a lifetime price
Marcelo R. · BI Analyst · Telecommunications · March 19, 2026
Overall the experience with IDrive has been very positive, especially considering how affordable the service is for the amount of storage provided. Once configured, it has delivered consistent backups without issues, and the combination of scheduling, versioning and notifications makes it feel like excellent value for the price.
Pros: Easy to set and forget, with a very clear user interface that makes it simple to see what is being backed up and when. Once the initial backup is finished it quietly runs in the background without hogging resources, and email notifications give peace of mind that everything is being protected properly.
Cons: The main frustration is that Google Photos cannot be backed up directly, so the photos need to be downloaded to the PC first and then included in the backup set. This extra manual step makes the process a bit clunky, especially when managing a large photo library, even though the rest of the backup works smoothly and reliably.
Jamie E. · Analyst · Information Technology and Services · December 5, 2025
It's looks perfect to user for backup purposes, and overall tutorials are very helpful and simple. Looks like offering possible making connections many other storages services.
Pros: Very nice costly level for new user who doesn't have anything clear to staying for just some exactly one service user. System was very simple and easy understand.
Cons: The service was first time ever experiencing for me, from out of device own storage service, like iCloud. And that was mostly reason I didn't continue using it after year. Uploading work quite nicely and was easy setup, but when I need to download, uuh it's giving so many times info, something goes wrong, please try again later..
Petr L. · Artist · Leisure, Travel & Tourism · December 1, 2025
It has been good enough and does backups well. It tends to be more expensive compared to other solutions but restoring data is a smooth process with a solid file manager.
Pros: I like the fact I can backup virtual machines, NAS drives and endpoints. It provides another method of redundancy for backups. It is cloud based and easy to install and setup.
Cons: Backup uploads tend to be quite slow and use a lot of system resources. There have been times where scheduled backups have failed. The software does seem to use a lot of resources.
Wasek T. · IT Support Supervisor · Information Technology and Services · August 4, 2025
I have only recently started to using this program, but it seems to work well and is not overly expensive.
Pros: The porogram is easy to load and use. It can be used to continuously back up both internal and external drives.
Cons: It can slow the computer slightly when uploading and completing back ups. I have only just started using this product so no major complaints so far.
Sam G. · Manager · Leisure, Travel & Tourism · August 1, 2025
Pros: It is a really good program to use to back up multiple devices and their files. Everything is on the cloud so you can access it and download your files as needed if anything goes wrong.
Cons: It takes a little time to understand how to manage your documents but it is not bad.
Julian A. · IT Technician · Education Management · April 9, 2025
Pros: IDrive is very easy to use. It automatically creates online backups and does not require specific knowledge at all
Cons: Although the software uses automatic settings, there are a lot of settings you can adjust manually. This might seem a bit overwhelming, although the automatic settings are perfect for most users.
Yvonne C. · Owner · Media Production · March 11, 2025
My experience so far has been very positive, as the tool perfectly meets my needs, which is to perform backups and maintain a document history, similar to Google Drive, but much cheaper. The annual fee for IDrive is comparable to the monthly fee for Google Drive. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Pros: Ease of backing up my computer using the IDrive backup application.
Cons: The promotional price is for only 1 year subscription.
Diego B. · Freelancer · Computer Software · March 2, 2025
I really enjoy it and think it's a practical storage software. I do wish it had more encryption features for healthcare documentation.
Pros: Love that this has a disaster recovery option, as living in Houston we have a lot of power outages, hurricanes and times when the city shuts down. I also like that this have an unlimited storage capacity.
Cons: I wish the encryptions were different based on the field of use.
Sunaina B. · Director of Operations · Health, Wellness and Fitness · February 21, 2025
It's awesome. I had no difficulty setting it up and it runs seamlessly in the background.
Pros: It's very attractively priced and is easy to use. It runs great overnight to back up a large collections of
Cons: I've had it generate one or two backup errors over time. It's not always easy to figure out what caused the issue.
Darren L. · Head of School · Education Management · February 17, 2025
Customer service is really great and responsive 5TB of backup space is a great deal for the price I would love to see their main website info pages pared down and clarified - I had a heck of a time figuring out what exactly they offered and how it worked. With so many cloud services offering slightly different things and using the same terms ("Backup" "cloud storage" "collaboration," etc.) I found it difficult to compare apples to apples or even to determine whether what was on offer was actually apples in the first place. So to speak.
Pros: Lots of backup space for the best price around
Cons: Difficult to navigate their informational articles Difficult to determine what exactly you're getting with each plan - I thought I was getting 5TB of cloud storage, but it's actually just cloud collaboration - a space to share things with collaborators, but not dedicated storage
Philip T. · NA · Individual & Family Services · February 13, 2025
Pros: NOTHING to like about this company or its product
Cons: WORST. COMPANY. EVER. I joined for their cheap "start off" plan, which was $5 a month or something. I didn't realize how sleazy the company was, so of course I didn't read the fine print. They give you a certain amount of space, and I went 5% over (yes, FIVE PERCENT), and they started charging $55 a month to my credit card. WORST. COMPANY. EVER.
PATRICK O. · consultant · Marketing and Advertising · February 10, 2025
Disappointing, certainly won’t be using again
Pros: The introductory offer was cheap so that’s good
Cons: Customer service left a lot to be desired
Jim J. · Director · Writing and Editing · February 10, 2025
Great experience but still learning. The dashboard is easy to navigate
Pros: I liked the intro price and ease of operation. I’m still in the learning curve. Response from support was quick.
Cons: I wish there was a way to remove encryption when I backup to external drive
Richard S. · Boss · Accounting · February 10, 2025
Overall, it's a great option, especially for large size storage.
Pros: Backup feature and app run smoothly in the background without compromising processing speed or, even, bandwidth.
Cons: At first glance, different features can seem overwhelming but it all came together in time.
Leandro M. · Chief Infectious Diseases Physician · Hospital & Health Care · February 8, 2025
Pros: An affordable price that provides excellent value for money while maintaining high quality and essential features. It ensures cost-effectiveness, making it a practical choice for those seeking reliability, functionality, and efficiency within a reasonable budget.
Cons: My upload speed to iDrive cloud backup is unusually slow, causing significant delays in backing up my files. This sluggish performance is impacting my ability to securely store data in a timely manner. I need a solution to optimize and accelerate the upload process.
Haixun L. · Development Expert · Program Development · February 7, 2025
After having some odd transfer issues with another online file backup service, I switched to iDrive. Initial setup is easy, because I just picked the folders I wanted to backup, set my schedule, and I was done. The previous service had a more complicated method of choosing your folders that involved setting up exceptions. I didn't like it. My home internet service maxes out at 10mpbs upload speeds, which was making my initial backup of over 300gb of files take a long time. I used the iDrive Express service to mail my files in via a hard drive sent from iDrive. That ended up being quicker than the full backup via my internet connection. The price seems more or less in line with other similar services, so no complaints there. My only minor complaint is that the duplicate file cleanup routine needs to be run separately from the actual backup. I feel like that should be part of the backup process. Luckily, that can be scheduled too. Overall, iDrive is a really nice online backup solution.
Pros: Fair cost, easy to use software, option to have your data backed up via a mailed hard drive, several plans
Cons: backup cleanup not part of main backup process
Robert B. · Host, Producer · Arts and Crafts · February 5, 2025
I get a box that tells me files were saved and it gives me peace of mind to know that my work will not be lost.
Pros: Very easy to set up and when automated keeps up with files being saved to the cloud. Couldn't be better than that.
Cons: Haven't found a Con for idrive as of yet.
Stephen A. · Owner · Entertainment · January 30, 2025
Excellent so far, have backed up 500gb+ with no issues, test restores went well, support responsiveness has been great, online help articles are thorough, reporting and monitoring is great. Switched from a competitor and very worth while.
Pros: Vast array of features, great configuration options, excellent value for money.
Cons: The archiving feature is great, but I had a suggestion for how it could be improved to better manage/report on what files are archived and which aren't. It's not available today, but I contacted their support who very responsive and logged a feature request for it.
Ricky E. · Security Architect · Information Technology and Services · January 27, 2025
It's been easy to use and meets my needs.
Pros: I find it easy to use, and I relief to find a drive that meets my needs.
Cons: It was a bit difficult to sign up for, somewhat confusing.
Jane M. · Licensed Clinical Social Worker provider · Hospital & Health Care · January 24, 2025
Setting up backups is straightforward, the interface is easy to navigate, and everything works seamlessly.
Pros: Once configured, backing up with iDrive is easy. I find the interface intuitive and easy to navigate.
Cons: The paid plans may feel complex due to multiple tiers with varying features.
✅ Eric B. · Software Developer · Information Technology and Services · January 23, 2025
Excellent backup software. I like that you can backup multiple computers and also external hard drives which is something other backup software packages do not always offer.
Pros: This product is easy to setup and I like the fact that I can use my subscription to backup multiple computers using only 1 account.
Cons: User interface is good but could use a little improvement.
