WordPress.comI got my iTunes receipt for 99 cents. I got emails from iDrive telling me I had the upgrade. I have spent a lot of time trying to undo the original items uploaded. My advice is to not let it start automatically backing up until you decide exactly which items you want included. My problem was that I have way more than 50 GB in the basic things they assume people want such as documents, music, pictures, videos, and 20 GB of music got uploaded before I realized. Once it is backed up it is hard to remove it with Jaws on the website. I can find the information by clicking folders but can’t figure out how to “choose” items to delete. I found it easier to check all the items as exclude and then to go to the folders in Windows Explorer and use the application key to add the folder to the iDrive backup. These were the things like Favorites, contacts, Windows Live Mail, specific folders in my documents and specific folders in my pictures. It gives you a projected total but I did not realize this at first. The iDrive application has to be navigated with the Jaws key but I have managed to do this most of the time Sometimes I can then use the left mouse simulation and switch to the PC curser, but not always. The Sync folder is easier to use. Unfortunately, I did not check the size of the folders I originally put in there so it had too much. Today I trimmed down the folders to under my 50 limit and they seem to be uploading. It does take time when one is uploading such large files to begin with I think the Sync folder will work somewhat like the Dropbox folder. .
There is a scheduler where you can set up a specific time for backups and I plan to use this once I get it straightened out. I want this for the things I mentioned before that have to be in their original positions to work properly, like Favorites and Windows Live Mail. I did look on the site and there is a blog where it explains about the 99 cents price. And they do not have a credit card number for me since I use gift cards for my iTunes account so I can’t get burned. On the website there are lots of FAQ pages that are pretty helpful.

"You have to be a new iDrive customer, but otherwise the deal is exactly as good as it sounds: 50GB of cloud storage for an impossibly low 99 cents per year." "When iDrive first told me about this, I was sure it meant 99 cents for the first year, then a more typical $50 to $100 each year after that. But a company rep told me in no uncertain terms: 'It will be the same [99 cents] a year from now. [This is not] a first-year discount or limited-time offer,'" Broida reports. "To get it, you need one of the aforementioned iOS devices on which to install the iDrive app and sign up for an account. (Never mind the in-app purchase options shown in the App Store; you should see the 99-cent deal once you swipe through the getting-started screens.)" More info via Apple's iTunes App Store: iDrive (Online Backup) - Pro Softnet Corp Broida reports, "By the way, although you need an iOS (or Android) device to take advantage of this offer, once you have your iDrive account, you can use it across all platforms: Windows, Windows Phone, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS."
