Products
IDrive is an automated backup application that runs on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
Once installed, users select folders and files to be backed up at user-specified times.
IDrive offers incremental and compressed backups so users only upload modified portions of a backup file, and files may also be updated in real time with a continuous backup option.
Users have the ability to limit bandwidth usage during the backup process
The previous 10 versions[14] of a file are automatically retained and IDrive does not automatically delete backup data, even if backup files are deleted on the user’s computer.[7]
Users can share their files through email, social media sites including Facebook and Twitter, and via a mobile phone application for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone.
IDrive allows a user to back up data from all compatible devices to a single account.
The iDrive application runs natively on Windows, OSX, as well as on several models of NAS devices made by Synology, QNap, and Netgear.[7]
IDrive provides multiple data retrieval options.
Backup files can be accessed remotely from any Internet browser or with IDrive’s client software. If a user wants access to all backup files,
IDrive can ship all backup files on a 3 TB hard drive.[6][15]
Files on IDrive are stored using 256-bit AES encryption allowing for an optional user-defined key that must be shared with IDrive, but which IDrive claims will not be permanently stored on their servers.[9]
IDrive also provides activity reports, backup status reports and shared file reports
