Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
ElephantDrive is a reliable backup service that earns strong user satisfaction, though pricing and file limits constrain its appeal. Users consistently praise its ease of use, cross-platform compatibility, and trustworthy syncing across multiple devices—particularly the mobile apps and the "Everywhere" feature that lets them access files remotely. The automatic backup and NAS integration also receive recognition. Support quality is generally good, though one user reported slow response times.
The main complaints centre on file size limits (currently 1 GB, 5 GB for business plans), which multiple users flagged as restrictive compared to competitors. Pricing is noted as higher than alternatives, and some users wished for unlimited plans rather than tiered options. A few users mentioned UI friction—one found the startup process confusing, another felt there were too many steps to configure backups. Linux support exists but one user noted it needs improvement. File sharing works but collaboration features are limited, which may not matter for users focused purely on backup.
The 15 reviews are overwhelmingly positive (14 five-star ratings, 1 four-star), suggesting a strong product-market fit for personal and small-business backup needs. Real limitations around file size and cost may matter depending on your use case.

““Great customer support, great features, but it needs to improve…”
“Great customer support, great features, but it needs to improve Linux (RedHat) version” Pros: I choose this service because it covers almost all my needs ad it works on Linux, which is a must for me. Some others offer the same features but don't have linux support Cons: 1. File size limit 2. According to logs it looks like it's excluding some file types from backup, I don't remember this restrictions from the documentation. In any case, if I use a backup system I want all files to be backup up, it's up to me to select which files types to inculde and what to exclude

““Very competitive in price and features to more well known…”
“Very competitive in price and features to more well known storage solutions.” Overall: 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.

““this is a cloud storage service that allows its users…”
“this is a cloud storage service that allows its users to perform data backups in a scheduled manner.” 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.

“Pros: I love how seamlessly it syncs to all my…”
Pros: I love how seamlessly it syncs to all my devices and is accessible from anywhere. 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

“Pros: While I love the automatic backup function, the Elephant…”
Pros: While I love the automatic backup function, the Elephant Drive Everywhere feature is my lifesaver. I've been far from home and needing to remember some small detail - whether it be a medical record, or something even more personal that no one else would have access to, and Everywhere is there for me. One good story of ElephantDrive Everywhere coming through for me happened when I found myself near the university my mother used to teach at and I wanted to visit the classroom that had been hers. Using ElephantDrive Everywhere, I was able to locate on my cell phone a digital copy of an old letter I had of hers, which had the address of her classroom on it. All of this happened when I was 3000 miles away from the computer to which I had originally scanned and saved that letter! ElephantDrive Everywhere had it right there for me, on my phone. It was awesome. Cons: It took me a little bit of learning to get used to the UI. They could have a better start up or tutorial process.

““Elephant Drive gives me total peace of mind. No more…”
“Elephant Drive gives me total peace of mind. No more worries about hard drive crashes!” Overall: Peace of mind. Pros: Multi-device backup all within one account. I have two computers plus my phone backed up to the cloud and the files are sync'd between them. If I add a NAS then backup for that is included too. Cons: It does file sharing very well but isn't designed for collaboration as much as some other programs. This does make sense though since ElephantDrive is more for cloud backup of all my files than for anything else.

“Good solution to NAS backup” 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.

“Love this product!” Pros: Amazing and functional cloud storage program that works flawlessly! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for reliable cloud storage. Cons: No cons! Great software and absolutely no complaints. I would compare this to other cloud softwares like icloud.
