    Chose IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2
    OneDrive pricing is cost-prohibitive for the amount of storage I need, but it has a pretty good immediate back-up process.

    Chose IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2
    Using IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 in 2024 reminded me of the early days when OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox where actually useful, streamlined, interested in being great cloud storage apps and not just a 'lock in' to constantly push other products on you.

    Different use cases, iBackup I've used for mainly corporate Microsoft application servers, IDrive for personal workstations, mobiles, NAS etc

    Chose IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2
    OneDrive offers cloud storage with a better (more features and more user-friendly) interface than IDrive. However, IDrive adds backup features, whereas OneDrive only synchronizes files. So for backing up you would need an additional service next to OneDrive, whereas IDrive has …

    Chose IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2
    Google Drive is pretty clunky and its syncing gave me headaches. Dropbox is fast and reliable but has become very expensive. OneDrive takes up a lot of bandwidth and made my computer slow. I use Box only through institutional login and it's not that affordable as an individual …

    Idrive is an independent cloud backup providing solution whereas OneDrive is Microsoft's owned cloud storage offering. IDrive really offers some pretty nifty storage options that made it "the best cloud storage guide". I compared the following statistics with OneDrive and got …

    Chose IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2
    Extra functionality of the other programs were not needed, and the price was over double for the same storage. For the sake of a simple, secure, and reliable backup of my files at a decent amount of storage (10TB!) IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 takes the cake.

    Microsoft
    Chose OneDrive
    We are a Microsoft ecosystem, so IDrive isn't appropriate. Dropbox was more expensive and less integrated to Windows. OneDrive is part of our Office 365 subscription, so the decision-making process was easy.

    Chose OneDrive
    I would not recommend OneDrive to anyone. Buggy and unreliable. Frequently corrupts files.
