IDrive competes with Dropbox

Dropbox is probably the first company(if I’m not wrong) that brought online file syncing available to the public for free. Now another company competes with almost the same features as Dropbox. IDrive another online backup and file syncing service offers a free online storage and a file syncing service. The application is currently in beta but is fully working without known bugs as of this moment. If you’ll ask me on which of the services is better, I’ll vote for dropbox hands down. If you compare the free features of the two you can definitely see the difference. IDrive’s free account gives you a 2gb disk space which you can use in five computers while dropbox offers a huge 2gb storage with unlimited syncing to any PC which you can increase as of this moment if you have a decent referrals in your pocket.

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.

This is what I want to have, a personal library of hard external drives from Western Digital. This external drives that you’re seeing are what you call the epitome of personal library where you can have a customizable e-label.
