IDrive’s Pro account is a definite winner. Pricing includes $5/month with unlimited storage while dropbox’s $10/month of only 50gb. Functionality wise dropbox customers are extremely happy using their unique file syncing. I haven’t tried IDrive yet but it seems that features are far competing if you’ll see a huge reviews in using dropbox’s features.Let’s just see what will happen to these two for the coming years, For sure IDrive’s features will improve in time.

Backing up online data using another online service is the easiest and most hassle free thing you can do. That’s where Backupify comes, where organization of your backup data is just child’s play when you use them.

Registration is fairly easy, just a couple of minutes in filling up forms and then you’re done.You can choose if you want to use your own Amazon S3 account or you can choose the free one.  You’ll then be taken to your dashboard which shows the services you can easily integrate in backupify. The interface is really easy, the moment you see it you’ll definitely know what to do. I took a screenshot to the Regular Service that Backupify is currently supporting without any problems.

I’m totally impressed how backupify integrates the services above to make backing up data an easy task. If you click the “Manage” link you’ll have the option of adding several accounts that you want to backup. You just provide the password and username in some applications or authenticate some service for it to work. Take note that you’re in the settings page in managing the service. To view your backup files you have to go to the archive page and select the account you want to view.

Your first backup will take a couple of hours to see in the archive page. The schedule of backing up data can be set in a weekly or daily basis with an email to notify you that a backup is made.

Backupify is currently in beta and their service is totally free until January 31st. At the time of this writing there’s a total of 13 service you can use ( including beta service) and 4 services listed that backupify will support in the near future. Start using Backupify now and experience what kind of service they offer. I know you won’t regret it the moment you use Backupify.

I’ve been surfing the internet when I stumbled Dropbox, A service that offers great solutions for backing up data in your pc. Dropbox doesn’t just offers a backup system but syncs your files in your hardrives and backs it up automatically.Other than that you can share your data to your colleagues and friends making it an easy file sharing system ever. The file is saved in secure servers so you can get your files across different computers. What you just need is an application which you can download freely and the files you just backed up will be available to the computers which has the application installed. If you are thinking of sites like rapidshare or mediafire then you are definitely wrong since it automatically syncs the files to servers. A good example is when you are editing a document at home and saved the document you are working, in just a click you saved the same file to all your computer instantly and automatically.

Dropbox gives you a free 2gb hard disk space which can be upgraded to 100gb by adding $19.99/month. The 2gb hard disk space is enough for regular users so if you’re just looking for a place where you can store some of your photos or portable installers then Dropbox is more than enough to your daily needs. I’ve worked with it before and I’m impressed to the user friendliness of the interface, no coding and complex setups required. It’s like having a Windows OS in the internet, speaking of operating systems, Dropbox is available to other platforms too (MAC,Linux). If you have any questions then you can look for the details at Dropbox’s official website.
