We’ve been offering those with .edu or @k12.state.us email addresses up to 50% off on a Personal or Family IDrive plan. We’ve now added two new types of email addresses that are eligible for the discount!

Schools and universities often maintain elaborate, specialized networks to connect their staff to the many terabytes of research data and other digital assets they’ve compiled. Having a remote backup of that data is often a strict policy due to federal regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley and with EVS, IT departments can build applications that fit their institutions specific needs using easy-to-implement APIs.

Faculty and staff can safeguard files with IDrive’s built-in private encryption key options which allows subscribers to protect their data with a user-defined phrase and with anytime/anywhere access to stored files via the web or mobile devices users are never left without their information at hand.


Some important features to note for students and teachers:

  • Access documents and files from any PC, Mac, iOS or Android device
  • Share files/folders with others, collaborate on presentations
  • Files are always encrypted and private key encryption is available for maximum security
  • Unlimited file retention and 30 past versions available for restore (versions are stored free)
  • Continuous Data Protection for real-time backup of schoolwork, never lose a paragraph
  • Top-notch network performance on the EVS cloud
  • Live 24-hour support

IDrive is available for home and server editions of Windows and Mac OS X and for mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Android Market.
