AK Allan K. Research Officer International Affairs ### "A personal vault for my most precious files" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 5, 2021 ElephantDrive allowed me to save and recover some very useful work documents when our systems were ravaged by a deadly virus that corrupted a large number of files in the institutional cloud storage service we used. Fortunately, I kept a personal backup of all files I worked on in ElephantDrive so I was able to quickly recover the files of interest to make sure no valuable time was lost. Pros What I liked most about using ElephantDrive is the ease of use. Setting it up on my multiple devices was very simple and direct. The best part was that my files synced in real time without any delays at all. Cons The storage capacity given for the free account should be expanded.

AM Andrew m. Therapist Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Very competitive in price and features to more well known storage solutions." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 November 29, 2018 It is hard to decide between Elephant Drive and Dropbox. I get much more free storage with Dropbox, but all in all, I prefer the interface and reliability of Elephant Drive. Especially on th eAndroid app. Pros The price is competitive. And it works at least as well as Dropbox for my incremental backups. I think it wins on the syncing side. Just seems more reliable in that respect. They had a free trial so I could play with it and see how it was. I liked it. I'm not sure if it is just me, but the android app does seem faster and easier than Dropbox. Cons I wish file size didn't have limits, so I can backup large backup files. That seems pretty universal though.

Response from Vendor November 30, 2018 Thanks very much for your review - both the positive remarks and the candid feedback about file size.

I work on the go and in many different locations. It also instructs how to use the software very easily, which helps me a lot because I'm by no means tech-savy. I feel secure knowing my data is protected. Cons I had some initial trouble using it with Android, but then almost immediately after I ended up switching to Iphone anyway, so when I downloaded the app on ios it was totally fine Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Response from Vendor April 15, 2018 Thanks for posting - we will look into the problems you experienced with our Android app, but are glad to hear that it sounds like you are up and running on the iPhone app. Moises R. Analista de planificación de mantenimiento ### "this is a cloud storage service that allows its users to perform data backups in a scheduled manner." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 11, 2018 Pros it is nice this service runs on both Windows and Mac platforms, and allows users to create simple automated rules for protecting data by moving it into an ElephantDrive account. Cons the least i like about is that ElephantDrive doesn't offer an unlimited plan. so you have to add that plan because the competitors offer unlimited backup. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor April 13, 2018 Hi Moises - Thanks for the feedback. We want to address your note that we add an unlimited plan since it's an important issue and relevant to others. We found there are 3 ways to offer "unlimited": 1) unlimited capacity with other limitations (e.g. limit number of devices, transfer speed, file types, etc.). This seems like deceptive marketing - promises unlimited, but imposes practical limits. 2) truly unlimited capacity, priced high enough to protect against outliers (who generate much higher costs than the mean or median users). We want clear, affordable pricing for all, so have not gone this route. Many companies have offered low priced unlimited plans, but discontinued. 3) unlimited capacity in tiered chunks - this is what we offer. We have plans for any amount of storage a user needs (even PB scale), but we offer capacity in tiers. We realize this isn't what you are requesting, but it is a set up we know we can support indefinitely. Thanks again for your support! AU Anonymous User Post Production Manager ### "Good solution to NAS backup" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 March 31, 2018 Pros I have a Qnap Nas and needed a good way to backup the data an Elephant drive seems to do the job and take little management to get things setup Cons Pricing is a little more money than others, wish it had a desktop restore client to restore files locally. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor April 3, 2018 Hi - thanks so much for your feedback in the Capterra review. One important note that might address the concern in your "cons" section - we do actually have a desktop client for restores (and you can use it to back up the desktop or laptop). This is part of the plan and has no additional costs. Also, we have mobile apps for iOS and Android, also free to use. We would be happy to help you get the desktop client set up and running. Just shoot us a note at support@elephantdrive.com. MY MONICA Y. Program Director ### "Back up your files" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 March 26, 2018 Pros Backed up files fast once the steps were followed More than one user Works with multiple devices Fast connection Cons Not user friendly Too many steps needed to back up the information compared to other products Costumer service took long to respond Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
