IDrive

IDrive is a US-based cloud backup service run by Pro Softnet Corporation out of Calabasas, California. The flagship IDrive Personal and Team plans back up unlimited devices (PCs, Macs, iPhones, Android phones, external drives, NAS) into a single account, with storage tiers of 100 GB, 500 GB, 1.25 TB, 5 TB, 10 TB, 20 TB, 50 TB, and 100 TB. Pricing is aggressive: the 5 TB Personal plan is around USD 69.65 for the first year, which undercuts Backblaze's per-device model once more than a couple of devices are in play. Features include 256-bit AES encryption with optional private key, 30 file versions, continuous data protection for recently modified files, local backup to a USB drive, IDrive Express physical-drive shipping for large initial seeds, and add-ons for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Dropbox, and Box SaaS data.

IDrive also sells IDrive e2, an S3-compatible object storage service at USD 4 per TB per month with no egress fees up to 3x stored data, which is priced below Backblaze B2 and Wasabi on a headline-rate basis. That gives creators two distinct affiliate pitches: a multi-device consumer backup promo and a developer-facing S3 alternative. IDrive is a common pick in cloud backup review roundups alongside Backblaze, Carbonite, Acronis, and pCloud; the usual comparison angle is multi-device coverage per dollar and the hybrid local + cloud backup model.

The IDrive affiliate program is managed in-house by IDrive rather than via CJ, Impact, or ShareASale. Publishers apply at idrive.com/idrive/partner/partnerSignup, provide website and audience details, and once approved get tracking links, banners, a product feed, and a reporting dashboard inside IDrive's own partner portal. Larger publishers can negotiate custom CPA or recurring rates with the IDrive partner team rather than taking the public default.

The headline reward is 25% recurring commission on each paid subscription renewal for as long as the referred customer stays active, which is unusual in cloud backup where most competitors cap recurring payout at 12 months. Cookie duration is 45 days from click to signup. An alternative flat-CPA track (up to around USD 15 per sale) is available for some publishers, but recurring is the default advertised rate. Commissions validate after a 60-day window to filter cancellations and chargebacks, then pay monthly via PayPal, check, or wire once the publisher balance clears the USD 100 minimum. Self-signups, coupon-driven traffic, and trademark-bidding in paid search are excluded per the program terms, and a signed W-8 or W-9 is required before payout.
