## Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Many praise IDrive for affordable pricing, a generally easy backup experience, and responsive developers who fix issues. However, reliability is a major concern, with frequent crashes, backups that don’t run or stop unexpectedly, and restore failures that raise data-loss worries. Additional pain points include price hikes and renewal/billing problems, limited customer support, and privacy/account-control concerns (e.g., deleting payment info or accounts). Some users also note decent cross-platform support, including Linux. Overall, the service can work well when stable but reliability and control issues are common complaints.

### Pros

- Affordable pricing and good value for cloud backup.
- Easy-to-use backup system with generally good performance when it works.
- Developers are responsive and fix issues quickly.
- Viewed as a must-have tool to protect data.
- Cross-platform support (including Linux) adds flexibility.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and overall unreliability, including backups failing to run.
- Restoring backups is unreliable and data loss risk exists.
- Auto-backup stops unexpectedly and backup notifications glitch.
- Pricing hikes, renewal issues, and weak customer support.
- Privacy and account-control concerns (no easy option to delete payment info or account).
