📄 Editorial Review

IDrive is a mature cloud backup, object storage, endpoint protection, and disaster-recovery provider rather than a traditional shared hosting company. It is not the right match for customers searching for cPanel shared hosting, domain registration, reseller hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS, or dedicated servers. Its real value is as an independent backup and storage layer for websites, servers, SaaS accounts, endpoints, NAS devices, databases, and business files.

The company is privately held and headquartered in Calabasas, California. Raghu Kulkarni is associated with the company as Founder and CEO. The modern company profile lists IDrive Inc. as founded in 2007, while older corporate history traces the Pro Softnet roots back to 1995, followed by the IDrive Inc. rebrand in 2013. This gives the brand a longer operating history than many newer cloud-storage and backup competitors.

The main IDrive backup platform supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, NAS devices, external drives, full-machine backup, disk clone, server backup, sync, and cloud-drive storage. Business users can protect Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, Oracle Server, System State, Hyper-V, VMware, Linux servers, Synology, QNAP, and other business environments.

IDrive e2 is the most relevant product for hosting customers. It is an S3-compatible object storage service for backups, archives, media files, application assets, disaster recovery, and ransomware-resistant storage. It includes bucket versioning, object lock, immutable storage, cloud migration tools, global regions, and no egress or API request fees. For developers, agencies, MSPs, and hosting customers who need off-site backup storage, this is the strongest part of the IDrive portfolio.

The wider product range also includes IDrive 360 for endpoint backup, IDrive BMR for bare-metal recovery, IDrive Cloud Apps Backup for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Dropbox, and Box, IDrive Express for physical backup/restore shipment, and IDrive Photos for photo and video storage.

A major limitation for hosting buyers is that IDrive Compute was discontinued on August 15, 2023. Because of that, IDrive should no longer be treated as an active VPS or cloud-server provider. It remains useful for customers who already host elsewhere and need backup, object storage, endpoint protection, SaaS backup, or disaster recovery.

The website is modern, wide-screen friendly, and easy to navigate. English is the main language, with localized versions available for Spanish, French, German, and some additional product-area localization such as Japanese for e2 content. Pricing is mainly shown in USD.
