After downloading and installing the IDrive app from the Android Market, users can simply log into their IDrive account using their established credentials to view backed-up files, share backed-up files/folders with others by simply entering the recipient's email address, check to ensure their last backup completed successfully, even view account statistics. All major Android OS releases from version 1.6 are supported with the IDrive online backup app, as are most of the currently available Android tablets. In addition to the new IDrive Android app, a mobile app for Apple iPhone/iPad devices is also available.
IDrive is regarded as a premium online backup service and currently protects over 750,000 users with reliable, secure online backup for consumers and businesses of all sizes.
