About IDrive
IDrive Inc. is a privately held company headquartered in Calabasas, United States. It was founded in 1995 as Pro Softnet Corporation and announced that it would operate as IDrive Inc. in 2013. The company began as a software consultancy and later focused on cloud storage, backup and remote-access services.
IDrive is best known for online backup across multiple computers and mobile devices under one account, and for IDrive e2, its S3-compatible cloud object-storage service. The company also offers related data-protection and technology products.
IDrive’s product range
Personal and small-capacity backup
IDrive Mini offers smaller-capacity online backup and storage. IDrive Personal is designed for one person backing up several computers and mobile devices. The plans listed in our comparison include desktop and mobile applications, web access, file sharing and desktop synchronisation.
Team and business backup
IDrive Team lets an organisation manage multiple users and computers under one account. IDrive Business extends backup coverage to users, computers, servers, databases and NAS devices. IBackup is another business-oriented online backup and data-protection service.
Cloud object storage
IDrive e2 provides S3-compatible object storage, with pay-as-you-go and committed-term options. It is intended for organisations and technical users who need cloud object storage rather than a personal computer-backup plan.
Organisation-wide and specialised services
IDrive 360 centralises endpoint and cloud-application backup for organisations and IT teams. IDrive BMR combines on-site bare-metal backup and disaster-recovery hardware with cloud replication. Other products include backup for business cloud applications, IDrive Photos for photos and videos, RemotePC for remote desktop access, IDrive CRM and IDrive Autonomy, a driver-assistance technology offering.
Servers and support
IDrive says its standard backup applications and data are hosted at multiple data centres in the United States, but does not identify the facilities or their cities in the information available here. IDrive e2 publishes storage regions across North America, Europe and Asia. IDrive advertises phone, email and live-chat support around the clock, as well as a support form.
Who IDrive suits
IDrive is worth considering if you want device or business backup, or need S3-compatible object storage. It is not a conventional web-hosting provider for publishing a website. Compare storage capacity, supported workloads and the terms of the specific product before choosing; the product range spans several different use cases.
