This is only an option if you're on the most expensive Pro plan, however, so that's something to bear in mind if you're weighing up how much you want to spend on a subscription to HiDrive. It's not on by default though – you need to go into your account settings to get it configured.Įnd-to-end encryption is available for your data, which means not even the engineers at HiDrive can get at it (and that also means they won't be able to recover it if you forget your password). Two-factor authentication is available, giving you an extra layer of security when it comes to logging in with your username and password.

Users get both private and public folders to make use of. You can, for example, set files you share to be read-only, and limit the number of times that files can be downloaded. You don't get anything like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages or Dropbox Paper (opens in new tab) unfortunately, but you do get some effective tools for controlling who has access to what in the HiDrive cloud locker. We like the look of the collaboration and user management features here too. If the worst happens to your computers, you've always got a backup. Syncing is just about instant too, so you know that as you make changes to your files, HiDrive will be backing them up to the cloud for sake-keeping.

You don't have to sync all of your files to all of your computers if you don't want to, and there's also the option to limit the transfer speeds on Windows so that HiDrive isn't using up all of your precious bandwidth.Īs with Dropbox and other similar apps, you get little icons next to your files on Windows showing their sync state, which is useful (you can turn them off if you don't like them). Syncing files is straightforward, whether you're dragging them into the designated folder on Windows or macOS, or uploading them through the web interface. Files can be uploaded through the web interface, through the mobile apps, or from the desktop, and in our testing we were happy with the transfer speeds we were seeing (more or less as good as could be expected given our home broadband speed). The 1&1 Ionos HiDrive interface isn't the most modern-looking or dynamic we've ever come across, but it covers the essentials of file syncing and file management well enough.
