With mobile phone cameras being such high quality these days and only getting better, pretty much everybody is using iOS and Android devices to document their lives through photos and videos, so it’s critical that you store these photos in a secondary location just in case your phone is damaged, lost, or stolen.Īs PC Mag points out, IDrive Photos is extremely simple to use, with different options to make protecting your photos and videos completely hassle free. When the sync eventually starts working, it operates at speeds so slow that it'll take about 6 more weeks, operating 24/7, for less than 400gb to upload.Ever since Google Photos announced last year that they would no longer be offering free, unlimited storage for photos and videos, many users have been looking for a more affordable alternative to help them keep their mobile photos and videos protected in the cloud.Īccording to PC Mag, IDrive Photos might just be the best choice, providing unlimited, full-resolution storage space for all of your precious photos and videos. I go to bed and when I check the next morning nothing's changed.


I've had innumerable conversations with customer service, at the conclusion of which they've assured me, "No, everything's fine now, it'll all sync no problem". They offer iDrive Express service, where you load your data onto a hard drive, but the postage charge for this - if you're in Europe, as I am - is $40+ ONE WAY, so we're looking at 80 bucks postage alone, and, based on the rubbish service I've received so far, it didn't seem wise to throw more money away. I've spent numerous hours reading their FAQ, watching videos, tweaking my computer parameters, etc and it's been massively frustrating and mostly a waste of time. Since then it's managed to upload approx 10,000 of my 90,000+ files. My experience with these guys has been pretty awful.
