Used to be brilliant
I’ve used Icedrive for about 3 years and it has been very easy to use with an iPad.
However, over the last couple of weeks I’m unable to access files indirectly, ie when in Twitter or Flickr and the Icedrive app doesn’t allow me to see icons of images or allow them to be accessed, downloaded etc. atm I’d recommend avoiding until these bugs have been cleared.
(iPad running latest version of iOS)

Auto upload Media
The auto upload media function is still pathetic. It takes forever to upload mobile photos from iPhone. Not sure why this feature is not being tested or enhanced till date.
Buggy to the point of scamming you
Doesn’t automatically upload, and when you try to download your pictures and files to other devices, it always fails. Tried to save your photos to your desktop and it downloads everything as broken. Zip files. Tried to cancel your membership and it says that you’re still a subscriber and you need to unsubscribe first. Then try to unsubscribe and it doesn’t let you.

Uploads are stuck

UI and it need to adds some features
They need to change it UI and lack of features like it doesn’t support RAW images and some of the documents like MS WORD , PPT, EXCEL ETC… moreover, if you want to see any if you latest file you need to scroll all the way down
They need to learn something from icloud,google drive, pcloud.

Want to use IceDrive, but the app is unusable
Constant failure to upload files over 70MB. The UX of the app is also poor with odd icon decisions and lack of proper messaging for status of things like file uploads.
Losing The Will To Live
Had this app for a year now, paid for the lifetime plan, what they mean by lifetime is that's how long it will take you to upload or download your data, a complete waste of my time & money, crashes every time Ive used it even for a small upload or download, now with PCloud, in a different league altogether, had no choice but to give it one star & that's generous.

Not good enough
It’s not really good enough as an app. The photo backup is pointless as it’s so unreliable, can’t tell when it decided to no longer back up your photos and videos. And I would argue that is probably one of the main purpose for a cloud storage app on a phone. I have to rely on a free alternative, which actually functions as an app.
I paid for this service and development is so slow. App updates are promised on the forums but never delivered. It’s been over a year since an update. What are you doing if your not updating your apps?! You can’t justify it, there is no excuse. Just do what you are paid by your customers to do.
The service is fine for speeds etc, but I’m losing patience with the service as a whole. I no longer recommend it to people.

Great service with greater potential
This is a great service! Fast, secure and very well designed. When the next version of the app and desktop apps finally arrives, it will really make Icedrive the best service out there.
Don’t do it
Icedrive came recommended as a service similar to pcloud so I figured I’d give them a chance. Thankfully I started with a small storage tier (paid for life), figured if I like it I’ll upgrade later. But unfortunately the icedrive app is riddled with bugs that make the app unusable and they don’t seem to be in a hurry to fix anything, last I checked the app hadn’t been updated in over 11 months. Doesn’t seem like they’re even putting an effort into it. At this point I’ve accepted that I’ve wasted my money on this service that I’ll probably never be able to use.

Needs improvement
App doesn’t get updated. It’s been a year and a majority of my uploads just hang and fail.
A Suggestion for the Developer
I had IceDrive’s lifetime subscription for over three years now. I think if the developer invests a portion of the money they get from lifetime subscription into JP Morgan’s professionally managed JEPI and JEPQ, they together can yield about 10% per year if the times is good. And also invest a portion into treasury bonds from the US government that are yielding 4-5% per year up to 30 years, those should pay for the subscription itself if not more. I hope this helps!

Improvements
Two improvements I suggest are:
1. Allow user to set a security pin for the phone app. Security pin will be asked everytime you open the app (different from logging in)
2. Media player controls should hide when a tap is made

Great app!
Hey! Not sure why some users complaining, but I’m really enjoy to use this app. I have Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS and all devises sync with no issues. I like minimalistic desig and functionality. And I hope that developers will not trashing the app with functions which nobody need.
Improved!
Been using icedrive for couple years now. It used to be slow and buggy but it has improved a lot. One of the most secure cloud storages out there.
Sign up page doesn’t let you accept terms
Stuck at sign up
Good cloud storage but terrible mobile app
Can’t download whole folder. Can’t download all photos together if there’s more than a few of them.
Uploads no longer working
Uploads are not working with the latest update
No Album selection on app
Unfortunately you cannot upload photos and videos from a given album through the app yet. It is possible on the mobile browser, but painful.
