Some things that I drive does better than backblaze is the fact you can back up multiple computers to the same account as you pay for a chunk of storage instead of unlimited for a single device which also includes a mobile devices which backblaze doesn't. While backblaze does have their own version of this they seem to only use the enterprise-level version that send you a 50 terabyte Fireball, with no option to do a smaller more personal version I drive cannot do this as it uses a file tree base system of file storage, this is incredibly bothersome as if you change the name of any of the files on that entire tree I drive will try to re-upload everything, even if the name and metadata hasn't changed at all.Īnother thing that backblaze does better is the fact that you can get a hard drive sent to you with your already backed up data for free, I drive does exactly the opposite they will send you a drive for you to copy your data locally on to and then mail the drive back to them in order to backup the data that way, but to get a copy sent to you cost money. Backblaze supports file comparisons, or in other words it is able to tell if it has already uploaded a file even if it was from a different Drive or folder. To start with things that backblaze does better than I drive. After trying both backblaze and I drive I'm going to give a brief review of my experience with both services.
