Backing Up In The Cloud With Elephant Drive

The ability to access our files from anywhere, anytime, and from any device has become a way of life. From free online backups to commercial data storage, there seems no end to companies offering 24/7 access to all of our information. One company hoping to set itself apart from the competition is Elephant Drive.

The Beast Of Back Ups

Elephant Drive has been around since 2005. Since then, it has become one of the industry leaders in data management technology. It offers cloud based back up, online file storage, and file sharing for home users and businesses. Elephant Drive has a range of package plans available. Each plan is priced depending upon the amount of data storage needed and has a set limit as to the amount of systems covered under each plan.

Big Time Security For Peanuts

One of the main considerations of any cloud storage user is the ability of the storage provider to protect and store our data. Elephant Drive secures your files transfers using a 128-bit SSL connection. The files are securely stored using advanced 256-bit AES encryption technology which is also used by the U.S government. It enlists the services of Amazon.com's state-of-the-art facilities to back up your files. Elephant Drive uses advanced technology designed to maximize transferring speeds while minimizing its impact on your computer's resources.

An Elephant Never Forgets

Elephant Drive offers a massive amount of storage. Their home packages range from 100 gigabytes to 2 terabytes of storage. There is a lite account available which gives users 2 gigabytes of storage completely free. Accessing your information is easy in Elephant Drive. It lists a complete history of your account which makes accessing your stored files pretty simple. Users can also select and back up files according to file type or by folder. You have the ability to create sub-accounts for authorized users and create links to share files. This is a nice feature that sets Elephant Drive apart from a few of its competitors. Where Elephant Drive seems to fall short is the inability to access files from mobile devices as it does not currently offer an iPhone app or any app for that matter. According to the company's blog, that feature is in development. If you are in the market for an online data storage provider, Elephant Drive does offer a 15-day free trial to try out their service.
