## Review summary

Overall, IDrive Photo Backup is valued for its low price and core backup capability, but persistent reliability and data integrity problems dominate user sentiment. Many users report background upload failures, crashes after updates, incomplete restores, and even data loss when syncing with the cloud, along with weak support. As a budget option it may work for some, but reliability concerns make it a risky choice for important photo backups.

### Pros

- Budget-friendly pricing offering good value for money.
- Lifesaver backup capability, including ability to back up external storage and protect important files.
- Decent/easy-to-use interface.

### Cons

- Background backups do not run reliably; backups only occur when the app is foreground.
- App crashes or won’t open after updates; frequent launch failures.
- Restore/backup reliability is poor; restores are partial or require manual work.
- Risk of data loss when deleting items from the cloud (deleting on cloud can delete local copies).
- Customer support is unreliable or unhelpful.
