I jumped right in and soon jumped right out. I simply could not get it to work the way they promised it would. Desktop app froze up continuously and could not back up anything from an external drive. The web app not much better, could not show my computer and would just keep on loading and loading (those rectangular blocks) - and after a long wait I gave up. Cancelled and deleted the app from my computer (fortunately no big loss - signed up for the special $7.95 for one year, which I have cancelled). I am amazed how the so-called reliable computer/tech online magazines give this a "this is the best" rating". I have now purchased additional OneDrive space (tied into Windows for work and other reasons) and it is so much easier.
Thank you, I've just signed up. . . Do you know syncing my photos and media works both ways? I don't know if I should give it a chance or if I should just delete some of the old photos from google.
did you get a refund?
Same. Its was FING awful.
I kinda regret signing in with them. Their website is rarely up making it a problem when accessing files from a different computer.
and about storage if not renew? idrive erase or maintain like the others ? i m asking cause in the payment place in idrive website show that will be erase !
can i accessed from the Finder on macOS, allowing to view and manage files directly in my file system without taking any space on my computer?
Interestingly, it looks like there is actually an option to share your files with others. However that's turned off when you activate 0 knowledge encryption. Looks like you have to pick one or the other. (I'm not sure how others get around it, if it's at all possible).
I had issues with very slow upload speed with Idrive
Is the iDrive Mini plan now available in the US?
Mauricio, is there a back up service that'll let you, God forbid you need it, recover around 2TB of stuff in a very SHORT amount of time?
Great video as usual but at the 4:50 mark to 5:10, you talked about Idrive not selling your info and also law enforcement requests, if its zero knowledge how would they be able see your data? unless you're referring to sign up info such as your name , email address etc. and not your data......
Hi! Yes, that's exactly what we're referring to. Every online service needs to process some of your data, however limited, and all of them need to comply with the law to provide what limited data they have. IDrive doesn't collect much apart from your email and payment info and stuff like that, and it certainly can't allow anyone else to access your files, precisely because it's a zero-knowledge service.
which one is the best against Ransomware?
Wait, I'm confused. If it's zero knowledge, how are they able to share my data with authorities if "I'm the only one who has the key"?
Thank you.
States link to 90% discount is in description - fails to put link in description. Nice.
What are the differences between IDrive Mini and E2?
Great video as always Mauricio! I'm a little bit puzzled anyway... I'm looking for a cloud backup service, zero knowledge, working in the background saving everything to the cloud, at least 30 day history (for ramsomware) and if possible a sync folder so I can at last have my phone synced with mi PC… looks like iDrive ticks all the checks for me until I see the users reviews… both in internet as well as in your own website… People really advise against this service… I’m puzzled and don’t know what to believe :/
Believe what the users say - stay away, not a good app in my opinion.
@@eddiebarendse9249 thank you Eddie. A pity, because on paper it was what I needed.... not much options :(
@@CiroPerez Hey I'm probably a little late but backblaze looks like a good alternative
Best 24/7 customer support Really!!!
I want to use it as 'storage' for easy access; I want an extension of my PC Computer?
Nope, rather go for cloud storage apps such as Sync, Dropbox (becoming too expensive) and many others. iDrive is a back-up app, and not very good at that.
Thank you
2.3mb upload speed when I have 16gb normally , it’s trash
I drive, you drive, we all drive for ice cream.
I can't watch my uploaded videos, on web browser
they have set a limit to something like 500MB for video files to be watched from the web to avoid streaming
To back up an entire OS you need according to the company "Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 2008 Server, Windows 2012 Server, Windows 2016 Server, Windows 2019 Server". Mac and Linux are not supported. To me that amounts to very little flexibility. Great review as always Mauricio!
Not accurate.
is idrive down?
The review here is bad in my opinion because it says the speed is fast but the reviews from many people in the comments is that it's very slow. Sorry, this is not a good review. You should not test it yourself. You should have other people test the speed. Your location could be a factor.
I can absolutely confirm … super slow and sometimes down …. too many people on it
iDrive is crap and INCREDIBLY SLOW. It is not at all fast.
Agree 100%, stay away in my opinion.
What’s the best option then?
But is there any comparably priced option?
Concur 2.3mb upload speed , I have 2tb to upload
And the sync piece simply doesn't work.
3:53 Means nothing if its shit, which iDrive is.
This fucking Idrivedaemon eats my cpu to death, wtf, no use
This video is about What iDrive is, with no real insights into How to use it. Therefore this is just a sales pitch. Useless to the iDrive user.
idrive is FING awful. I swear all the reviews for it are shills. Its really FING awful. Tested it and dumped it a few days later its so bad.
very very slow in acccesing uploading data
