Ratings and reviews

Awful product. There's no way to automatically backup document files only photos and videos. You can create folders but can't move files between these folders. It has an outdated music playlist function (which I can't figure how to use), most people use music streaming services these days. File uploads one at a time?? Really basic stuff missing. I'm upset I was bamboozled into buying this and now I'm stuck with it for 3 years. I will not be renewing. I've marked the date in my calendar.

if you have any disruption to the WiFi the back up cancels and doesn't resume. one drive worked seamlessly this does not. downloading files off the cloud to Android crashes more than it works. I've never retrieved a folder of files first time. when you are downloading if you touch any part of the screen it cancels the download edit: turns out the automated backup hasn't worked in three months. Edit: sharing files is via an e-mailed link (!) Which doesn't work. Don't buy

2024: still just as awful as my original review. Slow, disconnects, doesn't back-up, hard to find files, files corrupt. Do not use this service. It is astonishing that Currys are letting their name anywhere near this service. 2022: Mobile backup still does not work. Please don't fall into the trap of using and paying for this. Avoid at all costs.
