About IDrive
IDrive does what the famous names do, for less: the Personal plan offers 5 TB for around $69.65 the first year (about $99.50 at renewal), and unlike Backblaze it covers unlimited PCs, Macs, phones, and external drives under one account. It keeps up to 30 file versions, does full disk-image backup, and the IDrive Express service ships you a physical drive for huge restores, free once a year. The apps look dated next to the modern crowd and upload speeds are mid-pack, but on features per dollar nothing in this lineup touches it.
“The value champion of true backup: 5 TB for under $70 in year one, covering unlimited devices, with disk-image backup and even physical data shipment. The interface shows its age, but no one else does this much backup per dollar.”Editorial team, via BackupShortlist
