Icedrive review

Icedrive is a smaller provider that competes on price and built-in encryption. Paid plans include client-side Twofish encryption with zero knowledge, so files in the encrypted space are locked before they leave your device, and Icedrive cannot read them. Pro 2 TB is $6.29 a month billed $75.52 for the first year, against a regular $8.99, and offers 90 days of file versioning, unlimited desktop sync devices, file requests and protected public links with passwords, expiry dates and download limits. There is also a 100 GB tier, larger 5 TB and 10 TB tiers, and one-time lifetime plans. A free 10 GB account lets you try the apps, but it has no encryption and no file history. Mobile and web access on Pro 2 TB is capped at 5 devices, and the Icedrive Docs editors are still marked as coming soon. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers paid plans.
