Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for an online storage company to use for a Mac?

From my research, I seem to be leaning towards iDrive.com.

Was wondering if anyone has any input?

Thank you!

What are you trying to store? OS backups? File backups?

Basically everything that's in my computer; mainly pictures, videos, documents, spreadsheet, etc.

I have used Carbonite online backup in the past, but it doesn't really work well with Macs, so from a little reasearch I found out about iDrive.com.

I like the ease of use of online backup sites, and I feel they're a better option then having an external hard drive sitting right next to my computer.

I use Apple's iCloud for OS backups.

This should really read:

I like the ease of use of online backup sites, and good practice is to use a cloud or other remote backup in addition to an external hard drive on my property (but disconnected from the computer and power except when it's in use for a backup operation).

Did you not look at iCloud? 50/200/1000/2000gb plans are priced reasonably and no additional software needed
