IDrive Provides Cloud Solution for Android Users Shifting New iPhone

The unleashing of Apple’s iPhones, the 5S and 5C, encouraged many people, even Android users, to make the jump to iOS.

IDrive Inc. offers cross-platform capabilities to switch from one platform to another.

Switching platforms can be complicated. A third party service can help transfer mobile data, since the Apple and Google platforms have serious limitations when it comes to cross-platform compatibility. While many service providers, like Verizon or AT&T, are able to transfer mobile data within the store, having a secondary backup is a fail-safe way to ensure your data is protected.

Raghu Kulkarni, CEO, IDrive, says: “There is a significant demographic of mobile users who are not loyalists to a specific platform and are willing to change to a different one, if it offers something exciting. Our IDrive mobile app is a great additional solution for these users looking to transfer their mobile data.”

With IDrive, contacts, photos, videos, and calendar events can be backed up on the older Android device and restored to the iPhone.

Kulkarni adds: “This kind of cross-platform compatibility can provide users with the flexibility to change platforms while providing a secondary layer of protection.”

Users who are not changing from Android to iOS and are simply upgrading their old iPhone to the newer version can take advantage of the benefits that IDrive offers. The mobile app offers features like anywhere access, selective backup, sharing of photos and videos, management tools, NSA- proof private key encryption, and pricing that are not available with services like iCloud. These advantages make IDrive an app that mobile user should consider as their supplementary backup/restore option.
