IDrive, the app's parent cloud provider, can be used for all kinds of file types, not just images and videos. When you want to access your gallery, and you donвЂ™t have a mobile device nearby, you can use any major web browser to log into your IDrive account through the IDrive website.

IDrive Photos is available for iOS and Android devices. While you can certainly employ your own deviceвЂ™s photo tools to edit individual photos before theyвЂ™re uploaded to the club, having even the most basic of adjustments built into the app (brightness, contrast, color grading, sharpness, etc.) would be a nice add-on. Unfortunately, you wonвЂ™t find any kind of photo editing suite built into the IDrive app. While you can't edit photos, you can configure IDrive Photos to upload them automatically (Image credit: IDrive) If not, there are links to create an account or to sign in using your Apple ID or Google login. Once the app is downloaded and launched, youвЂ™ll be prompted to sign in with your IDrive login if youвЂ™ve already made one. We tested the IDrive Photos app using an iPhone 12. IDrive only shares your data with trusted third-party affiliates to help improve the IDrive service, and if you choose to delete your IDrive account, all of your user data is erased from the cloud after 10 days.

When you transfer files of any kind to a backup cloud space, itвЂ™s imperative that the media youвЂ™re sharing is safely uploaded and protected during both the actual transfer and once the file is successfully stored.ДЄs outlined in their robust privacy policy, IDrive is required to collect certain user data during your initial registration (email, credit card, etc.) but the company ensures that this information stays protected throughout your enrollment. While the significant discount only applies to your first year with iDrive, youвЂ™ll only pay $10/year when your second year of storage begins.

Compare that to $36/year with 200GB for iCloud for Photos or $24/year with 100GB for Google Photos. In terms of pricing you canвЂ™t do much better than IDrive Photos, where your entire first year will only run you $0.99 for unlimited storage. IDrive Photos is much cheaper than Apple or Google's cloud storage for photos (Image credit: iDrive)
