How does IDrive secure my data?

IDrive uses industry standard 256-bit AES encryption on transfer and storage. Data stored at our world-class data centers is encrypted using the encryption key (known only to you in case you set the private encryption key).

WARNING: IDrive does not store your private encryption key on its servers. It is recommended that you archive it safely to backup and restore your data. However, if you opt for the Default encryption key, you need not remember it.

Can I change my private encryption key for an existing IDrive account?

No. Once the encryption key is assigned to your account it cannot be changed. However, you can create a new account and start using it with an encryption key of your choice.

The site does not show pad-lock related to SSL encryption when I try to login. Is my login secure?

IDrive uses 256-bit AES encryption to transfer your Username and Password when you enter the login credentials. This ensures your details are secure during transfer since the information cannot be viewed by anyone as clear text. You will see the pad-lock sign once you login. However, when you just navigate to http://www.idrive.com, the site is not secure as with almost any site on simple navigation.

Where is IDrive data stored?

The IDrive applications and data are hosted at multiple world-class data centers. The data centers provide the physical environment necessary to keep the servers up and running 24x7. These world-class facilities are custom designed with raised floors, HVAC temperature control systems with separate cooling zones, and seismically braced racks. They offer the widest range of physical security features, including state-of-the-art smoke detection and fire suppression systems, motion sensors, and 24x7 secured access, as well as video camera surveillance and security breach alarms.
