Negative: Slow to non-existent upload speeds. ![]() Unquestionably the worst cloud sync/backup service I've used in 15+ years. When the sync eventually starts working, it operates at speeds so slow that it'll take about 6 more weeks, operating 24/7, for less than 400gb to upload. In this review, we'll explore whether iDrive lives up to its good reputation, or if you should focus your attention elsewhere. I go to bed and when I check the next morning nothing's changed. That changes today, as we'll introduce you to iDrive, Pro Softnet Corporation's cloud backup solution, a favorite among many for its strong price-performance ratio. I've chatted with customer service many times and at the end they'll assure me, "No, everything's fine now, it'll all sync no problem". They offer iDrive Express service, where you load your data onto a hard drive, but the postage charge for this - if you're in Europe, as I am - is 40+ dollars ONE WAY, so we're looking at 80 bucks postage alone, and, based on the rubbish service I've received so far, it didn't seem wise to throw more money away. I've spent numerous hours reading their FAQ, watching videos, tweaking my computer parameters, etc and it's been massively frustrating and mostly a waste of time. ![]() ![]() Since then it's managed to upload approximately 10,000 of my 90,000+ files. Summary: My experience with these guys has been pretty awful.
