Works exceptionally good. Would recommend this Cloud Backup.
★★★★☆Chicago39· Jun 7, 2026
it's good for backing up, but the notifications are really crazy. it's an all or nothing. I don't need to be notified when a back was successful each and every time I take a new photo. I just want to be notified if there are errors! I use IDrive on my personal computer... notifications are much better there.

Competitive Price I had a storage issue which I couldn't solve (system backing up all movies on phone) - but idrive support was good. After a few support exchanges, I was able to solve the problem.

This application spent the entire time that it was on my device erroring, crashing, and being completely unusable. The crashing became so frequent that I could not do a single thing on my device without a crash message showing every single freaking second. This is a useless application that will only frustrate you, while not backing up your device.
★★☆☆☆Charles Engler· Jan 27, 2026
Not the best. Will not auto backup or on a schedule. I have to manually initiate a backup every time.
★★☆☆☆Acenaia Fall (Ace)· Mar 21, 2026
Used to work very well. Now it constantly crashes and doesn't work in the background. I frequently have to open the app and backup manually. Not sure what will happen when I have to restore anything to my phone, but I don't have high hopes. Will likely have to look for a new paid service.
★★☆☆☆Aman Sahota· Jan 9, 2026
Works sometimes. The Cloud Drive feature on the mobile doesn't always work. Uploading is a horrible experience as you can't select locations on your phone. You can only select via the camera folder so imagery outside that folder cannot be uploaded.
