If I was told that about my dedicated server, I would accept that. I had to think about it and figure it out. It was only a platform that they provided. I was told they do not provide any support for HiDrive. I thought maybe the datacenter gods were smiling on me because these guys know their stuff. This time I was connected to server support in the USA. To make a long story short, apparently a business account doesn’t qualify for FTP, so I called support again. I jumped the gun and asked if I could use FTP and the tech emailed me instructions. My first call got through to hosting support. Two 35-byte fragments later I called tech support. I tried to restart and was left with a 35-byte fragment.
#DOWNLOAD HIDRIVE DOWNLOAD#
Just as the download was about to finish it errored. I went for supper and came back with about 20 minutes left on the download. I logged in with Firefox and sure enough, it was only an hour and a half to download. (I use Chrome most of the time, but that’s a story for a different review.)
#DOWNLOAD HIDRIVE FREE#
I cleared out the trash leaving me with 80 gb of free disk space on my MacBook, restarted my computer, and decided to download with Firefox because it’s faster than my normal browser. I decided if it was going to take hours to download this file, I better make sure everything was optimum for the download. There can always be problems with 3rd party providers that data transfers through, so I tried to have the file downloaded through a server in the USA, and that was better. I have a fiber optic connection that downloads at 100-200 mbps, and I was right in between at about 145 mbps. I don’t live in the USA, so I tested my transfer speed to some servers in the Dakotas and it was fine. I let it download in the background hoping that would resolve itself. I logged in to HiDrive and attempted to download the file. I stored that 38 gb file on HiDrive while waiting for a new data cable for my external backup. I have an 8-hour video of rain and thunderstorms I need to add binaural rhythms to and upload online.
You can access your data from anywhere, and you can choose which files you wish to synch to the cloud to allow your team to collaborate. The package provides you with 5 users you can add and boasts of "unlimited flexibility". $1 a month and then increases to $10 dollars a month after the first year.
It was perfect timing, so I bought the business plan which includes a terabyte of storage. HiDrive is an online storage platform that allows you to store and share files. I’m not sure what the policy is with IONUS, but when 1and1 said unlimited, it meant unlimited.Ī few weeks ago, I had problems with a data cable and couldn't use my backup drives, so I signed up for HiDrive. If you’ve ever woken up to calls about your sites being down for over taxing your hosts servers, you know what I am talking about. I've always recommended their services, especially to newbies who tend to fall into the "unlimited" account trap that always turns out not to be unlimited. I've been with IONUS (formerly 1and1) for over a decade.
