Dropbox vs iDrive: Revealing the definitive winner
If technology isn’t intuitive, it isn’t useful. Why risk a backup product that’s more trouble than it’s worth? With Dropbox Backup, you get a smart solution that gets to work in a few clicks – from a company trusted by more than 700 million users. It’s the simple, intuitive solution that does exactly what you need. You just won’t get that from iDrive.
Easier to use
You get all Backup features with every Dropbox plan, the only thing that varies is the storage you choose. iDrive gives you different backup and recovery features with each plan – so who knows what you’re getting, or what you’re paying for?
Tougher security
Backup is always on, always encrypting your files in the cloud – so all you need to do is stop worrying. Whether your computer is lost, stolen, fried or frozen – your files are safe.
Fast file recovery
If your computer is toast, your files aren’t – but only with Dropbox Backup. You won't have to wait long, and can pick up from where you left off – iDrive just doesn't work like that.
Dropbox Backup offers seamless integration, ensuring all your data is centralised for easy access and management – much different from iDrive’s scattered approach.
You get lightning-fast recovery with Dropbox Backup, which effortlessly restores data to its original location with precision and speed in a few clicks – unlike iDrive’s more cumbersome process.
Using Dropbox Backup, you can access more types of files, from more places (anywhere, in fact) – providing unparalleled convenience. iDrive’s more limited accessibility could leave you wanting at precisely the wrong time.
Is iDrive safe? While it’s probably secure enough for some people, Dropbox provides world-class security – shielding your sensitive information from threats. There’s no point compromising or taking a risk on shaky defences.
Rescuing precious data is simple. Dropbox Backup offers foolproof data recovery, ensuring you never lose valuable work. Why leave yourself vulnerable to data loss?
Dropbox gives you access to powerful collaboration features, streamlining teamwork and processes for enhanced efficiency and productivity. You’ll never feel disjointed or out of the loop.
“Dropbox Backup calms my anxiety a bit. I’ve been using my work computer for a year now, but as it’s from 2012, I know there’s a possibility that it will freeze, fail or die soon. But everything is backed up. That’s a huge relief.”
