User Reviews

Users appreciate IDrive Photo Backup for its affordability, simple interface, and fast uploads. However, many express frustration over insufficient control on what is backed up, with the app often uploading unintended folders like WhatsApp images. Auto upload reliability issues are common, requiring manual app restarts. The app lacks robust organizational tools such as albums, tagging, or face recognition, limiting photo management. Additionally, users want the ability to delete local files after backup to save space and a bandwidth throttling option to reduce resource drain. Overall, the app is promising but needs feature improvements to compete with leading services.

Pros

Affordable pricing compared to similar photo backup services.
Simple and easy to use interface for straightforward photo backup.
Fast upload speed, often faster than competitors like Google Photos or OneDrive.
Reliable cloud storage service with good subscription options.

Cons

Lack of control over what gets uploaded, with no easy selection of folders or photos to exclude, especially WhatsApp or other non-personal photos.
Auto upload often malfunctions or stops working in background, requiring app restart to resume.
Limited organizational features: no album creation, tagging, sorting, or AI-based indexing.
No feature to delete local photos or videos after backup to free phone storage.
App can consume excessive bandwidth and CPU without option to throttle, impacting device performance.

I honestly didn't get the point of this app. Considering current features of iDrive photos, imho it makes a lot more sense using the iDrive mobile app and centralise cloud drive and backup there. If it is reassessed to provide a better photo-oriented experience, then it could make sense to have a specific app for this.
