IDrive vs ICloud?

1

I see IDrive is offering $1.00 for a year, then $70.00 a year moving forward. My IDrive vs ICloud or vis versa? Please let me know & thank you

What Is your intended use for these services?

3

iCloud fully integrates with the Mac OS and iOS platform. Its not just data storage.

4

Backup for all my information on my MacBook

I am not a techie person. I currently have Backblaze. My question is IDrive a better option for backup of all my stored information?

They are basically the same. Backblaze is more sexy and iDrive is cheaper. I use iDrive without any issues.

In your original post you asked about iDrive vs iCloud; later you asked about Backblaze vs iDrive.

If it’s backup you want, then iCloud is not the answer. iCloud is a syncing service. That leaves us with Backblaze vs iDrive. The prevailing opinion here is that Backblaze is about as you can get. As @TheMarty noted, iDrive is cheaper than Backblaze, however Backblaze offers unlimited space whereas with iDrive you pay based on space.

This is funny:

vs

https://www.idrive.com/backblaze

But Backblaze being limited to one device is quite an issue.
