IDrive e2 Cloud Object Replication allows users to automatically replicate their data across different geographical regions. With this feature, businesses can ensure that critical data is always available, even in the event of localized server failures, ensuring minimal downtime and improved business continuity.
Cloud Object Replication assists users with:
- Enhanced Redundancy – Automatically create duplicates of your data to strengthen disaster recovery and improve resilience.
- Faster Access – Keep your data closer to teams by replicating it across multiple locations, ensuring seamless local access.
- Effortless Management – Set up and control replication policies through the centralized web interface for complete flexibility.

IDrive’s Bucket Event Notifications keep users updated on critical file changes in real time. Whether it’s the upload, modification, or deletion of an object, users can set up notifications for different types of events. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that need to stay informed about the status of their data and quickly respond to any changes in their storage environment.
Bucket Event Notifications are useful for:
- Real-time monitoring – Event notifications can be sent when new objects are uploaded or deleted in a bucket. This functionality can be leveraged for the real-time monitoring of data change.
- Data Processing Workflows – Workflows can be triggered when new files are added to a bucket. For instance, when new media files are uploaded to a bucket, a notification could automatically trigger the update of a website or application to display the new content.
- Security and Auditing – assists in tracking unauthorized or unexpected changes to sensitive data and can be utilized for compliance and auditing purposes.
Bucket Logging enables users to track access and activity within their storage buckets. This feature logs requests made to the bucket, providing valuable insights into how data is accessed, who is accessing it, and when. This is crucial for audit trails, ensuring compliance, and detecting any unauthorized access attempts, ultimately enhancing security and operational transparency.
Bucket Logging is useful for:
- Security auditing – Identify unauthorized access attempts or patterns.
- Access control – Track who is accessing your data and what actions they are performing.
- Usage monitoring – Monitor usage statistics for better cost management.
- Troubleshooting – Help diagnose errors related to access permissions or application errors.
