Hi
I am a lifetime subscriber of Icedrive and would like to share my thoughts on it. I would like to point out that Icedrive offers only 10GB free space now for new accounts.
They have a very long way to go to reach anywhere near the big guys like Onedrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and pCloud.
There are lots of basic function issues they need to fix. Folder downloading is not possible on Icedrive, which is a huge problem. Not possible to see folder details. (When you upload lots of files, most times the progress bar hangs and stops at some random percentage. So you’re not sure if all the files are uploaded or not. And without any option to check the folder details its headache at times) When you try to rename files & folders, it won’t allow at times, may allow after you try multiple times. Encrypted file option is good. But there are some issues in that too.
I know, they have only started this year. But with lots of technical issues I don’t recommend them to be your main cloud storage. They would require atleast one year more to stabilize every basic operations and run smoothly. It’s good for your mobile backups (photos & videos) which are not that important. But I DO NOT recommend them to store your important documents.
I think they have to reconsider their prices too, atleast until they gain more customers. 1 TB lifetime plan on Icedrive is 150$ 2 TB plan on pCloud is 350$ which makes their 1 TB 175$ (though they do not have 1 TB plan, but still that’s what their plan value is) And they always give offers too, like I got my 2TB LT pCloud plan for 245$, which makes 1 TB just 122.5$ which is cheaper than the IceDrive. With crypto LT subscription my 1 TB pCloud plan values at 185$. Just 35$ more than Icedrive.
I would definitely go with pCloud as my primary backup solution as they are already established cloud providers.
Icedrive looks cool, their customer support is good and they are trying very hard to make a name in the competitive world of online storage solutions. But when you need to trust you personal and sensitive documents its always better to choose the best out there.
Icedrive might be a bit more popular than Google One. We know about 26 links to it since March 2021 and only 22 links to Google One. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
If you do end up having to buy from the Google Store, my advice is subscribe to Google One just for this month. It includes dedicated support that is a genuine help in my experience. Source: 10 months ago
The storage that Google Photos uses comes from your Google One plan. You get 15 GB free with any Google account, but after that you'd need to purchase Google One storage. Google One is the name of Google's cloud storage (it's what Google Drive also draws from for its storage). Source: about 1 year ago

Google One accounts offer the following cash back (You don’t get this on the free trial). Source: over 1 year ago
Google offers personal cloud storage at 2TB for $99.99 a year, it doesn't seem unreasonable to be able find more storage at the same price elsewhere. I'm not about to go looking everywhere but IDrive has 5TB plan for $79.95, although they're primarily a backup service it seems. Cloud storage is cheap these days. Source: over 1 year ago
Okay I'll bite. Some details as to how it integrates into a site would be nice. Show me some code snippets! Also, and this is tangential: how do stats get collected if a visitor browses with JS disabled? Also your logo[0] looks very similar to IceDrive's[1] logo. Links below for comparison.

I recommend icedrive for their lifetime 1TB plan - it's the best bang for your buck in the cloud storage sector for long term. Source: over 1 year ago
IceDrive https://icedrive.net/ really efficient,with high grade Encryption and focused on totally privacy (haves lifetime plans). Source: over 1 year ago
I've used IceDrive (https://icedrive.net) and Jaybod (https://jaybod.com) for Cloud Platform. I think it's effective, but "it's really it's up to you". Source: over 1 year ago
I am pretty simple when it comes to archiving data. I archive my blog posts and writings using archive.ph. For storing other type of content (images, etc.), I use Icedrive[0], which provides enough storage for me to store important images and other data.
