LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IDrive Online Backup has been recognized by PC Magazine as the best online backup service in 2015 in a comparison between all major cloud players. IDrive took the top spot just a month after becoming the only backup solution to earn PC Magazine's Editors' Choice Award for both their desktop and mobile applications. IDrive was judged by their excellence in a number of categories including encryption, usability and affordability.

As PC Magazine highlighted in their report, all data backed up with IDrive is secured with military-grade 256-bit encryption, and users have the option of choosing a private key which is not stored on IDrive's servers, giving them sole access to their data.

PC Magazine also praised IDrive's "full-featured" and "clear, quick" interface with Instagram and Facebook backup, syncing and sharing as well as IDrive Express, a cloud seeding service allowing users to backup large amounts of data in a short amount of time without clogging their bandwidth via physical shipment.

In terms of cost-efficiency, IDrive provides industry-leading pricing with Personal Plans starting at $59.50 per year for 1TB of backup space along with 1TB of sync space. "IDrive offers one of the best value propositions among the many online backup providers I've encountered," writes PC Magazine's Michael Muchmore in his Editors' Choice review. IDrive also offers universal backup as an affordable solution enabling users to backup an unlimited number of devices at no extra cost.

"We strive to offer a complete cloud backup service which meets every user's needs at a price everyone can afford," says IDrive CEO Raghu Kulkarni. "From pioneering online backup to offering private key encryption, and now a wireless Wi-Fi backup device, it's clear why IDrive is the only backup provider to win PC Magazine's Editors' Choice award for both our software and mobile applications. It's an honor to have our efforts recognized."
