Using the same 1GB test file, both Dropbox and iDrive completed the upload in between four and four and a half minutes, which is about as good as it gets. Cloud storage reviews: how we tested them.Remember, though, that these times are only what we experienced, and are not wholly representative of the companies in all environments. A lot of it can be subjective, or dependent on your own situation, but the performance test gives a great indication of whether a company throttles its speeds behind closed doors. We compared more than 50 cloud storage and backup solutions in an effort to work out which one is best. These are free once per year for personal customers, and three times per year for Team and Business users, but further requests can be made for a $59.95 fee. This is a really valuable addition to all plans that we love, which involves a physical copy of your data being sent out on a temporary storage device within a week. If you do need to call on an iDrive backup but your Internet connection is weak, you can use iDrive Express. That said, it’s perfectly functional, and in essence, it’s a service you hope never to have to use.

Whether you’re checking or accessing your files online, or using one of the company’s desktop clients or apps to set up what it called ‘continuous’ syncing, the interface seems a little less sophisticated than that of Dropbox. The top-tier Business subscription bundles in server backup, too, which can be somewhat of a rarity.

All plans get access to macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android clients for automatic background syncing and backing up (though mobile devices are more limited), as well as backup for external drives and NAS devices. On the other hand, iDrive relies on you using your own hard drive, which it will backup for you.

The so-called Dropbox Passwords comes free with all paid accounts, and even free Dropbox accounts get a limited version of it (capped to just 50 passwords).ĭropbox also gives its users access to its e-signature tool HelloSign, with three free e-signatures per month, which certain business users can upgrade for a fee.

There’s also a ‘Vault,’ which provides a separate, password-protected space for confidential files, and a tool for sharing large files up to 100GB with others (however this is limited to certain business users, with personal accounts getting a less impressive 2GB cap).ĭropbox has had to adapt to the introduction of more competition, and in doing so, it has launched its own password manager. It integrated neatly into the operating system’s native file management system, so there’s no need to open a separate Dropbox app as such.

It runs in the background, and has controls for things like bandwidth throttling for more granular control. For day-to-day use, the easiest method would be to download the desktop client, which is available for macOS and Windows users alike.
