Looking for honest user feedback on IDrive e2 (S3-compatible object storage)
Hi all, I’m planning to use IDrive e2 (S3-compatible object storage) as the backend for a photo stock website storing and serving potentially thousands of high-res images with decent performance and low cost.
Before I commit, I’d really appreciate feedback from people who have used IDrive e2

Never heard of them, but in their website they offer 10 GB for free so I guess you could test
Works great, never faced with any technical issues with them. But they rise prices every year. I started from 2023 with €8/y per 2tb with prolong price €24, but the prolong price changed to €48 after a few months, then to $99/y. You could re register new account every year and transfer your data to new one for save about 50% of cost. My iDrive Canada bucket speed about 700mb/s with my Oracle free tier instance. If you ok with 1tb, you could take veeam plan for $19/y they do not checked real veeam user or not. 😁
Ps. Planning leave this service, because on this forum you could find much better offers, garage starts in docker in few commands, have no reason to pay for this.
Honesty, this price looks too sweet to expect it will stay flat.
And, I didn't, but I expected €24/y as was promised when I order it.
heard many bad stories on reddit, if you are looking for cheap object storage service, i think backblaze is better than iDrive and Wasabi
Hmm frequent downtime, I think in 1 month like 1-2 downtime, each 1 hour.
