User reviews

Uploads disappear

Several attempts same result I have submitted requests and the error file etc and nothing. Very disappointed. Some updates great but every time I update I’m scared it’s gonna stop working again.

Can’t even open it!

Just downloaded macOS app and can see why 1 star, it crashes straightaway! I downloaded as I am trying to delete files out of browser window, but that just hangs when I do so, none of this too clever when informed over quota and being charged for it!

Private Cloud

One of the few cloud storage that does not harvest your data

Needs more fixes, very slow!

We are still using this app which we pay for.
It freezes, is really slow upon initially loading into the app viewing and opening photos and especially in video playback it’s really slow, lacks quality and precision.
Very slow uploading as well.
The App needs much more optimisation and fixes so it runs a lot smoother.
This is a paid for service that is keeping our very important family, work and life content.
Be nice to have a bit more from the software and company regarding the app.

VERY limited use on iPad

I have been a satisfied iDrive user for many years - it is my primary backup solution for my Windows desktops. I was looking for a whole-device backup for my iPad to replace iCloud+ which i have “outgrown” (i.e. not enough space - sure, I could upgrade my iCloud to more storage, but why pay for that when I already pay for 5TB on iDrive, and have lots of room there for my iPad files?) But is appears that iDrive for iPad only does backups of photos, videos, contacts, and calendar - NOT files!! At least, I can’t find a way to make that happen - “Files” doesn’t appear on the list of items to back up, and I couldn’t find any online help which explains how I might do that. So, pretty disappointed.
