Been using them for years now, never a problem, not intrusive, and a good monthly price

Used it for years

Used it for years, worth the cost.

The thing I love about Livedrive is…

The thing I love about Livedrive is that I don't have to think about it. I trust that the back-ups will happen and they do. No fuss, no buttons to press. I can access files from my phone (useful in emergencies when out and about) and never need to worry about losing data as it's always there.

I have used live drive for years

I have used live drive for years and I like they have got better with technology. It’s like have your hard drive with you at all time with having the burden of carrying it. I like the iPhone app, it’s easy to use.

A "not bad" cloud backup service.

A "not bad" cloud backup service.Livedrive is probably generally okay for the average user, but I have the following issues with it. Stay away if any of these are a problem for you:1. No Linux backup client2. Windows client cannot be run "as a service", so you must be logged in to the computer you wish to backup from in order to use it. If you want to run backups in the middle of the night so you don't shred your broadband speed when you most need it, you can't do it unless you're logged ...

I have been trying for months to find…

I have been trying for months to find out why my backup of 5+ Tb never completes. I doubt there is a major problem but it is irritating. Am about to send another ticket.

Livedrive saved my from professional embarrassment

I have used Livedrive as a cloud based Backup pretty much since it came out. One more than one occasion I have been on a business trip with my laptop and found that a file I needed was on my desktop back home. As both computers were backed up on Livedrive, it was the work of moments to download the file onto my laptop, using the Wifi in the hotel and hopefully the client never noticed!!

Good service but clunky app

I have been using for at least 10 yrs, never had any issues and has saved my life a couple of times recovering lost data. Whilst an effective service, I will drop a star for generally clunky app confined to a small window making it difficult having to select and monitor configuration.

Everything's Good

Occasionally a file is not backed up though uploads are shown as complete.The uploads do catch up.

Worst support in the field

Worst support in the field. Slow, unprofessional and full of mistakes. Most ticket answers are either laughable or frustrating. Some are never answered, although in a ticket system. They must be very few in their support, swarmed in loads of assignments. Burning ship.
