Ratings and reviews

Clunky interface. Backs up things you have not selected. The app makes you scroll past all your photos to select different albums; there is no quick way to just tap the albums/folders you want backed up. This is really irritating when you have thousands of photos. There is a switch for auto camera upload. Unfortunately this does not use the folders you selected, it backs up everything, including things from other apps, not just your camera. Overall, very frustrating and inefficient.

I compared cloud companies for three months before choosilng idrive. There's a lot of things to consider: security, upload and download speeds, oS integrations, device compatibility, price, connection stability, and UX/interface. This app has delivered in every category! Thank you! Only thing I cannot figure out is how to share access with someone.i understand I can send them a link but I would them to be able to upload to the shared file. Idrive is stable, reliable, non-intrusive.💯

For the last several months, this app ceased backing up my phone's files reliably. It particularly seemed to stumble over SMS backup -- SMS backup would cause the app to stall out. I was able to get the process started again by deselecting SMS backup. temporarily, but the app would then only work for a few days before stalling again. I'm still using this for my PC, where it seems to work fine, but I'm giving up on using it for my phone.
