Dropbox Backup vs. iDrive: One clear winner.

3 ways Dropbox Backup is better.

1. It’s easy. With Dropbox Backup, you can quickly back up your files—all in one place and all accessible from anywhere, all the time. And not only is it more straightforward than iDrive, it’s also easier to buy. You get every Dropbox Backup feature with every Dropbox plan, and the only thing that varies is the amount of storage you choose. iDrive offers different backup and recovery features with different plans, so who knows what you’re getting or what you’re paying for?
2. It’s safe. Dropbox Backup is an automated safety net for your backups—protecting more file types than iDrive in sizes larger than 10 GB, depending on your plan. Backup is always on and always encrypting your files in the cloud, and all you need to do is stop worrying about it. Because if your computer is lost, stolen, fried, or frozen, your files are still safe.
3. It’s fast. To reiterate: If your computer is toast, your files aren’t. They’re in the cloud, and once you initiate the recovery process, they get restored in their original location with lightning-fast file download speeds. So there’s little waiting, and you can pick up right where you left off. iDrive just doesn’t work that way.

You shouldn’t have to wait for file recovery.

If you’re waiting for your files, your life and work are on hold. That’s not just frustrating, it can also be costly. Dropbox Backup saves you time and headaches by restoring your files right where you left them.

You don’t have to go get them. You don’t have to resave them one at a time. You don’t have to do anything but move on as if nothing even happened.

And because you can choose which file versions to restore—from the most recent files to earlier or older copies—you can stay in control of your digital life.

One secure place, 700 million happy registered users.

Dropbox offers one, centrally located spot to store your files and back up what’s most important on your devices. And that’s what keeps our 700 million registered users comfortable.

They trust Dropbox to be a safe place for their photos, their resumes, their work, and their entire digital lives. We did some research recently, and it shows that:

A majority of Dropbox users surveyed say Dropbox keeps their files more secure than a competitive product, and that Dropbox consumer users see Dropbox as a top leader when it comes to ease of use.

To make it even better, no matter which Dropbox Backup solution you choose, you get other Dropbox functions, like cloud storage and document sharing and handling. Sure, iDrive offers the basic functionality to store, sync, and share your stuff, but Dropbox pioneered this technology and continues to lead. And by getting Backup with a current Dropbox subscription, you’ll also have fewer subscriptions to manage.

Keep your digital self safe with a better backup, so you can quickly and easily recover from whatever life throws your way.
