Both cloud storage platforms detect when files are edited and use block-level sync to keep the versions of your files stored in the cloud up to date. To be fair, though, IDrive’s desktop client is easy to install and places a similar sync folder in the File Explorer. This was particularly true when using a Windows desktop, since you’re already logged in to your Microsoft account when using Windows 10 and the OneDrive sync folder comes preconfigured in the Microsoft File Explorer. OneDrive felt easier to use and more tightly integrated with our file system than IDrive. OneDrive is built into the File Explorer on Windows 10 devices (Image credit: Microsoft) There are also no editing tools available, so the only way to make changes to your files is to download them from IDrive back to your device. You can preview JPG images and Word documents, but not RAW files or any other specialized file types. IDrive, on the other hand, doesn’t make it easy to interact with your files once they’re in the cloud. You can even use the built-in photo editor, available through the web interface and mobile apps, to make quick touch-ups to JPG images. In addition, the software enables you to preview most image and video files, including Raw image files and Adobe design files.
OneDrive is part of the Microsoft 365 office suite, so you can easily edit Word documents, Powerpoint slideshows, and Excel spreadsheets in the cloud. Microsoft OneDrive does have a significant advantage over IDrive when it comes to software integration, however. However, Microsoft doesn’t offer any mail-in service comparable to IDrive Express, so getting all your creative files into the cloud can be a challenge. OneDrive accepts files up to 100 GB, so you won’t have any problems uploading large videos or Photoshop files.
