IDrive
Cloud backup and storage for computers, mobile devices, servers and SaaS accounts, all in
IDrive is a cloud backup and storage service that copies data from computers, mobile devices, servers, and NAS units to off-site data centers, keeping file history so earlier copies can be restored after accidental deletion or a ransomware incident. Backups from multiple machines go into a single account priced by storage rather than by device.
Core capabilities include Snapshots and Versioning (up to 30 previous versions per file), Continuous Data Protection, entire machine backup and restore, Cloud Drive file sync, IDrive Express physical drive transfer for large backups and restores, and 256-bit AES encryption with an optional private key. Add-ons cover Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Dropbox, Box, Synology, and QNAP backup, along with server backup for MS SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle, Hyper-V, VMware, and Linux.
Editions include IDrive Basic (a free plan with 10 GB), IDrive Mini, IDrive Personal, IDrive Team (seat-based, covering a set number of computers and users), and IDrive Business (unlimited users, covering computers, servers, and NAS devices), with monthly, yearly, and two-year billing options. Cloud Applications Backup is offered as a per-seat add-on with a 7-day free trial.
