Tough to say, at times it feels like we're playing a game of ring-around-the-rosary.

 But wouldn't that be rosary-around-the-ring?

I received an e-mail notice of this a little while ago from the ExtremeTech/PC-Mag mailing list I'm on.
I've never used IDrive before, but a quick study of reviews on the web convinced me it could be useful, and I find that price attractive. I read the IDrive "Terms of Service," and didn't spot any more-than-usual-draconian-weirdness there.
So I signed up, paid for one year, installed their software, and am now uploading 9gigs or so of various files. Their app is, imho, quite well-done, easy to use, and (as DropBox and GDrive) has the usual little task-bar doofoid.
I think it's probably inappropriate for me to put a link here to the offer ... might set off spam alarms ? ... but I am sure you can locate it easily.
It will be interesting to see if they offer the service where they ship you a hard-drive that you can fill with whatever, and then ship back to them ... in Asia.

$5 per day doesn't sound like a bargain to me!

It's not $5 per day.. it's $5 to sign up and the offer's good for 24 hours
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

What does it change to after the year?
Because if it's loadsamoney you've got the hassle factor to figure in if you decline an extension and have to move the data.

edit: If the "sale" price of US $6 is 90% off then, I assume, the usual price is US $60 per year for one terabyte. Wonder if IDrive lowering the bar here, temporarily, may have an effect on other on-line back-up services pricing ?
For me, it's a good deal because, health depending, I may need to return to COMBL (Corporate-Occupied-MallBurgerLand aka the U.S.) before another year is out, and then I could take advantage of their one-time-per-year copy everything onto a hard-drive free-offer (that offer not available in Asia).
Also, if I'm back in COMBL I'd have the bandwidth to download everything up on IDrive to another hard-drive pronto.
Needless to say, I made sure there was nothing in their TOS that committed one to extending beyond a year; as usual, they do require notice of termination prior to the start of automated billing for ...
your mileage may vary, cheers, Bill

I think Amazon already lowered the bar with their $60/year for unlimited storage. Quite useful if you have millions of photos and videos of your family vacations or the kids doing kid stuff.
The catch is, you can't automatically synchronize data without using a third-party tool.
