User Reviews

Users largely praise IDrive for reliable backups and easy restores across devices and fair pricing, with good support. However, reviews frequently cite reliability and performance problems (slow or failed backups and sync), instability and unclear status in the iPhone app, billing/auto-renewal frustrations, security/key-management concerns risking data loss, and various feature constraints (folder selection, reliance on Apple’s framework, no music backup, setup/firewall hurdles). Overall, the app is valued for its concept, but it has notable reliability, UX, and billing issues that appear across many reviews.
Pros
  • Reliable cross-device backups and easy restoration across multiple devices
  • Easy to use with straightforward setup
  • Competitive pricing and plans
  • Helpful support staff
  • Works across PC, iPhone/iPad, and Android, enabling access to backups from multiple devices
Cons
  • Unreliable backup/sync performance with slow or failed uploads and occasional outages
  • iPhone app instability, crashes, and unclear status/UX
  • Billing and payment problems including unexpected charges and auto-renew issues
  • Security/key-management concerns and account resets risking data loss
  • Feature limitations and platform constraints (cannot select folders, relies on Apple's framework, limited music backup, firewall/setup hurdles)

The service is a good value, but the iOS app has several annoying issues: - It can get stuck in a loop trying and failing to upload media it already uploaded (clear the cache in the app settings). - IDrive separates “devices” and “computers”. From a billing perspective this makes sense, but not from a functional perspective. The iOS app should not be limited to “devices” when you also have “computers”. It all feels like an artificial segmentation that has nothing to due with billing. They just don’t have a cohesive and efficient solution across the device apps, web, macOS, Windows, etc. - the iOS app doesn’t back up documents, only media, contacts, and calendar. This may be Apples fault, I don’t know.

I wanted to switch out devices to backup. I found no way to do that.
