ADrive Online Backup v1.0 with Enhanced Features

ADrive released v1.0 with its Enterprise Solutions, new storage plans, and free 14-day trial accounts for its Signature and Premium storage plans. Users can now test out ADrive’s storage plans with the latest premium features for 14 days at no charge. ADrive has also expanded its enterprise service and now offers Managed Backups and Disaster Recovery, Re-Branding and Co-Branding customization, Volume Account packages, OEM partnerships as well as the ADrive Reseller Program for approved partners.

ADrive’s new Signature and Premium storage plans start at $6.95/month and include all of the features of the free Basic plan, as well as the following set of features:

• WebDAV
• Geographically Diverse Backup
• SSL Encryption
• File History
• File History Recovery
• Multiple Concurrent Sessions
• 24/7 Technical Support
• No 3rd Party Advertisements

WebDAV is now available for ADrive Signature and Premium users to conveniently map their ADrive accounts directly to their computers without having to sign in to the web interface to manage, upload or download their files.

While all data stored on ADrive.com is continuously backed up, ADrive now offers geographically diverse backup to remote locations for Signature and Premium users for increased data protection. For those requiring an additional layer of security, ADrive provides SSL data encryption. Another enhancement to ADrive is the ability to run multiple, concurrent sessions. Signature and Premium users can now have up to 10 signed-in sessions at one time.

New to ADrive is a File History feature that utilizes snapshot technology to capture previous versions of a user’s file. Users can use the File History Recovery tool to retrieve and access previous versions of their data, and alleviate the worry of their files being overwritten.

Those users who require more than the 50GB of storage that comes with the Basic and Signature accounts can now purchase a Premium plan starting at $13.95/month for 100GB. Premium plans are priced to 1TB of storage, and ADrive’s Sales team can customize larger storage plans for customers.

The ADrive Signature and Premium plans now come with a free, 14-Day trial period for users wanting to test out the full functionality prior to purchase. At the end of the trial, users can simply choose to upgrade, downgrade or cancel their account at no charge.

In addition to the enhanced features and new storage plans for the consumer and small business users, ADrive has expanded its offering to enterprise-level customers. ADrive now offers the following customizable Enterprise Solutions:

• Managed Backups
• Disaster Recovery
• Co-Branding & Re-Branding Solutions
• Volume Accounts

ADrive’s Enterprise Solutions are completely customizable, and allow for businesses to better protect their data, improve data management, and add automatic offsite backups to their practice in the event of uncontrollable disasters. With the current state of the economy, ADrive’s Enterprise Solutions help lower IT costs for its customers.
