## Reviews

### "IDrive system backup/storage" — 5.0/5

> **Aaron** | *16 May 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I can flash over my entire computer if I need to, my files are automatically kept up to date so I don't have to worry about losing anything ever,  and I can put as many devices into my storage as I want. This means my phone, my laptop, my desktop, my work computer, all of it, all in one place. It's great.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm not really one to hold back on my opinion of things, but I honestly can't find anything I really dislike about this product. I mean... maybe the time it took for the initial backup? Took over 12 hours to backup my entire computer worth of about 90gigs of files. But I can't really complain about that even, that seems just about fair since I was using my computer the entire time without any disruption to my normal functionality or speed.
> 
> It's been great. I really honestly have no complaints. I've been able to back up all of my existing cloud drives, my backup harddrives, my normal harddrive, my phone, literally everything fits onto this one cloud storage service and I still have room for more.

### "Smooth sailling" — 5.0/5

> **Leandro** | *08 February 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Overall, it's a great option, especially for large size storage.

### "Not up to what it is advertised as" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *30 November 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Well I liked it is cheaper, and the support is also decent. But not great
> 
> **Cons**: The aspects of google drive back, and even backing up using express drive is not proper. Continuous issues. Tried google workspace back like 4-5 times. Failed all the times and the drive files did not copy. Same with Express drive. They sent a hard disk to copy the files, but the hard disk is not working properly and causing connection issues.
> 
> too time consuming and not well maintained. So many issues

### "Good experiance of IDrive" — 5.0/5

> **ian** | *09 November 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to use. Works well with older 64 bit windows, easy to set up, intuitive interface, also integrates with Android well.  Certainly works better than MS OneDrive for me, much much better.
> 
> **Cons**: A little slow to upload, but then I am shifting TB of data to get the backup setup so overall I think that is to be expected
> 
> Very good.  I have had no problems running it on Windows 7 64bit,  setup quick and simple, off we go \!  Whereas Dropbox and OneDrive are a huge pain getting them to function on older 64bit windows.

### "New PC - went with iDrive." — 5.0/5

> **Ben** | *13 January 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy install \& setup.  I recently got a new PC.  I was using another backup solution, but porting it to my new PC was very confusing.  After doing some research, I went with iDrive.
> 
> **Cons**: Setting up external hard drive for backup was a little confusing.
> 
> Excellent.  Installation \& Setup was very easy.

It enables users to select the backup version they want to revert to using a built-in snapshot feature for point-in-time restore and recovery. Thanks to its timeline feature, users can also scroll through files and photos in a gallery-type mode before making their selection. Other features include folder syncing, SSO support, server backups, and courier service.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/74f8613a-11b0-410a-86c3-c715476f9e4d.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2056979/idrive","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2056979/idrive#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":1200,"ratingValue":4.6},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Windows on premise, Linux on premise, Chrome, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2056979/idrive#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Cloud Storage Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/350/cloud-storage/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"IDrive","position":3,"item":"/software/2056979/idrive","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
