Ratings and reviews

Hopefully they fix the app so I can change my rating, but I haven't been able to use the app for many months now. I enter my credentials, and then a Captcha window appears with the spinning circle saying "validating", and it returns to the login screen without ever proceeding. Since mostly what I subscribed for was to keep my gallery backed up, I'm not getting what I paid for and will have to look for another solution if it isn't fixed soon. (I am able to log in on my computer though).

its good for backing up, but the notifications are really crazy. its an all or nothing. i dont need to be notified when a back was successful each and every time I take a new photo. I just want to be notified if there are errors! I use IDrive on my personal computer... notifications are much better there.

great service and affordable cloud backup and works with Linux too. devs were very responsive in fixing the app issue that i had a few days ago. Previous review: however with the android app..as of 2 days ago it wasn't backing up with my phone and would say "uploads completed 0/12" on the notification but opening the app would say 3/15 completed. Other issues are it keeps showing and hiding the notification and it also thinks that it hasn't done a backup and thousands of files left.
