Today we’re thrilled to be recognized by PC Magazine as not only, “one of the most aggressive online backup services in recent years,” but also the overall best online backup solution in 2015. In a comparison between the top online backup players on the market, PC Mag singled out IDrive as the most reasonably priced, secure and feature-rich service out there. The criteria by which PC Mag rated each online backup service included affordability, encryption, performance, mobile and web application usability, and extras. We’re proud to say it was our excellence in these categories which earned our service the top ranking in this review, as well as PC Mag’s Editors’ Choice award earlier this year. Here’s the rundown of why IDrive stands above all the rest.
More Storage, Less Money As PC Mag points out, we give users ample storage space (1TB) with Universal Backup for an unlimited number of devices at an unbeatable price ($59.50/per year). “IDrive offers one of the best value propositions among the many online backup providers I’ve encountered,” writes PC Mag’s Michael Muchmore in his Editors’ Choice review of IDrive. “None of its plans limit the number of devices you can back up or restrict you from including external or network drives.”
We’re one of the only solutions with which users can backup all of their data from all their computers, phones and tablets at an affordable price, without being charged extra per device.
IDrive is compatible with iOS and Android, PC and Mac, and a variety of servers, so you can make data secure and accessible across your entire network of devices.
Singularly Secure PC Mag also recognized IDrive’s encryption as some of the securest on the market. We offer military-grade 256-bit AES encryption by default, which the US government has approved for use in protecting classified documents. PC Mag emphasized that IDrive is one of the only services to offer private key encryption, which means, “you alone will be able to access your backed-up files.” Your user-defined key is not stored on our servers, so only you can unlock your data. This is simply the highest level of security available today.
A Full-featured, Clear and Versatile Solution PC Mag describes the installation of IDrive’s software as, “clear, quick, and standard.” They refer to our solution as “full-featured”, noting how IDrive has, “no shortage of goodies,” including syncing, sharing, media-playing, Facebook and Instagram backup, and our upload seeding service, IDrive Express, which allows you to backup large amounts of data via shipment of a temporary drive without clogging up your bandwidth. What’s more, PC Mag thinks our interface is “really good-looking,” and sums up our solution as, “one online backup service that we just can’t find any holes in.” It doesn’t get much more flattering than that!
“We strive to offer a complete cloud backup service which meets every user’s needs at a price everyone can afford,” says IDrive CEO Raghu Kulkarni. “From pioneering online backup to offering private key encryption, and now a wireless Wifi backup device, IDrive has always met people’s evolving needs with the latest innovations in cloud backup technology. It’s an honor to have our efforts recognized.”
