The virtual drive view is integrated within the File Explorer (as a separate drive) and shows everything in your backup, along with the previously mentioned Secure Folder. OpenDrive's interface consists of several pieces. The installation process places an OpenDrive icon on your desktop (for the virtual drive view) and one in your notification area (for the Sync and Backup Manager).

OpenDrive's desktop client installed on our test PC quickly and we had no issues logging in with our test account. While OpenDrive says it does 'not share your files stored on our servers with any third parties unless instructed by you and allowed by OpenDrive,' it may 'disclose your personal information or any of its log file information when required by law.' For reference, OpenDrive is based in Palo Alto, California, in the US. Credit card information is not stored on its servers. OpenDrive says it uses your personal information to provide customer support, to inform users about new features and products, and to maintain and improve the service. It states that the service retains profile information (contact details), payment information, and automatically collected information (such as your IP address, access times, and browser type). OpenDrive's privacy policy is mercifully short and straightforward, though the page says the policy was last updated in 2015 (a representative confirmed that it was still in effect). (Editors' Note: Livedrive is owned by J2 Global, the parent company of PCMag's publisher, Ziff Davis.) IDrive and Livedrive also support two-factor authentication. Currently, it supports SMS- and Authy-based methods. OpenDrive now allows you to set up two-factor authentication for web access, a change we appreciate. A representative from OpenDrive also noted that the company uses self-encrypting Seagate disks for its servers. Both files in the Secure Folder and regular folders are uploaded to OpenDrive's servers using the HTTPS protocol. Acronis True Image, Backblaze, Carbonite, IDrive, and SpiderOak One allow you to protect the entire backup set with the private key, not just a specific folder. Files in this encrypted folder are not available for sharing and can only be accessed by the owner via the local desktop application. If you forget your private key, however, OpenDrive has no way to help you regain access. The Secure Folder requires you to set up a private encryption key and uses encryption technology that conforms with the AES-256 standard to protect files. If security is your primary concern, you should only use OpenDrive's Secure Folder.

Keep in mind that the price jumps up quickly as you increase either the amount of storage or the bandwidth. Custom plans start at $50 per year (for the first user) for 500GB of online storage, while each additional user costs $1 per month. To get unlimited tasks (as well as notes), you need to pay $299 per year for OpenDrive's Unlimited Business Plan.Ī Custom plan lets you choose your storage allowance, your bandwidth, and the number of users.
