IDrive Photos may not offer the most exciting user interface or photo editing tools, but when it comes to the safe and secure storage of your treasured photos and videos, it’s one of the safest and certainly most limitless cloud backup services out there.As our name illustrates, we are truly at your beck and call on a 24/7/365 basis. Google Photos once offered unlimited storage but has since removed this tier of service in favor of a pay-walled Google One membership that removes limitations on file size and adds extra storage space to your account. Then there’s Dropbox (opens in new tab) and Google Photos (opens in new tab), featuring both free and paid backup plans for desktop and mobile platforms. You also can’t share your subscription across multiple computers (no mobile support at all), meaning if you have pictures on a second PC, you’ll need a second Backblaze account to back these secondary pics up. For one, there’s no way to share your photos with your contacts or across social media channels. The service has no limits on file size and automated backups of your pictures, but there are a few drawbacks, too. Similar to IDrive Photos, Backblaze provides unlimited storage for all your photos for only $6/month. While a free plan will only net you 5GB of storage, you can upgrade to a premium account, giving you 5TB worth of storage for $79.50/year.Īnother contender is Backblaze (opens in new tab). IDrive (opens in new tab), the app's parent cloud provider, can be used for all kinds of file types, not just images and videos. When you want to access your gallery, and you don’t have a mobile device nearby, you can use any major web browser to log into your IDrive account through the IDrive website (opens in new tab). IDrive Photos is available for iOS and Android devices. While you can certainly employ your own device’s photo tools to edit individual photos before they’re uploaded to the club, having even the most basic of adjustments built into the app (brightness, contrast, color grading, sharpness, etc.) would be a nice add-on. Unfortunately, you won’t find any kind of photo editing suite built into the IDrive app. While you can't edit photos, you can configure IDrive Photos to upload them automatically (Image credit: IDrive) If not, there are links to create an account or to sign in using your Apple ID or Google login. ![]() Once the app is downloaded and launched, you’ll be prompted to sign in with your IDrive login if you’ve already made one. We tested the IDrive Photos app using an iPhone 12. IDrive only shares your data with trusted third-party affiliates to help improve the IDrive service, and if you choose to delete your IDrive account, all of your user data is erased from the cloud after 10 days. When you transfer files of any kind to a backup cloud space, it’s imperative that the media you’re sharing is safely uploaded and protected during both the actual transfer and once the file is successfully stored.Īs outlined in their robust privacy policy, IDrive is required to collect certain user data during your initial registration (email, credit card, etc.) but the company ensures that this information stays protected throughout your enrollment. You also get 1TB PC/Mac Backup as a free bonus. While the significant discount only applies to your first year with iDrive, you’ll only pay $10/year when your second year of storage begins. Compare that to $36/year with 200GB for iCloud for Photos (opens in new tab) or $24/year with 100GB for Google Photos (opens in new tab). In terms of pricing you can’t do much better than IDrive Photos, where your entire first year will only run you $0.99 for unlimited storage. ![]() IDrive Photos is much cheaper than Apple or Google's cloud storage for photos (Image credit: iDrive) ![]()
