Easy to configure on a Synology NAS to backup to the Cloud

This was an excellent experience, from signing up to installing -- the whole process took hardly any time.

PROS

I loved the fact that there is a native app available for our Synology DS220+ NAS. This app made installing and backing up our data very simple.

CONS

It's mildly irritating to have to login to iDrive from the Synology dashboard each time I visit the status page.

Reason for choosing IDrive

iDrive offered a native app for Synology, and excellent data storage rates.

Reasons for switching to IDrive

BackBlaze didn't have a native app available for Synology devices.

iDrive - it's worth the time

iDrive checks all the boxes to having an online backup solution. Even though the initial backup could take considerably longer than expected, the future incremental backups and affordability are worthwhile.

PROS

iDrive is a great choice when considering an affordable and reliable backup solution in the cloud.

CONS

The initial upload for a large amount of data 3TB+ could take multiple days depending on your location.

Reasons for switching to IDrive

I switched from OneDrive because I need a backup solution and not immediate and fast cloud access. Although iDrive can be used in a way OneDrive is designed, the affordability of iDrive and using it strictly as a backup solution fit my needs perfectly.

Quantity > Quality

PROS

The amount of storage you get for the cost is unparalleled, and ultimately the reason I went with iDrive. You cannot get an equivalent amount of storage for cheaper.

CONS

The UI/UX is lacking. I solely use this as cloud storage to store photo/video during extended travels, which it works well for. But the actual interface is extremely dated. Having better media preview options would be nice.

Reasons for switching to IDrive

The cost per GB is significantly lower with iDrive, allowing me to store more on the go.

8 days and its still not backed up

Horrible. I have a 1.5 terabyte computer and its been backing up 8 days and its still not done. Ive tried turning it off and starting over, pausing, restarting my computer but it just wont speed up. This software is beyond rediculous. 8 days and its still not backed up. 1.5 terabytes is not that much to back up. No way Im renewing.

PROS

setup and price and reviews from trusted person

CONS

It is so slow its ridiculous. Who wants to wait over a week to backup and its still not done.
