Icedrive review

Icedrive is a low-cost Dropbox alternative that still offers client-side encryption, as long as you pay. Its plans page lists 100 GB from $2.99 a month and 2 TB at $6.29 a month on the current first-year offer, with 2 TB normally $8.99 a month, and yearly billing billed $75.52 for the first year of the 2 TB plan. Paid plans include client-side Twofish encryption with zero knowledge, so Icedrive says its servers cannot read files in your encrypted space. Pro 2 TB includes 90 days of file versioning, 5 desktop sync devices, unlimited mobile and web access, and a 1 TB monthly public share quota. Sharing tools include password and expiry protected links with download limits, file requests and folder invites. The free plan gives 10 GB but has no encryption and no file history, so treat it as a trial. Icedrive supports USD, GBP and EUR billing, offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and still sells lifetime plans.
