When the sync eventually starts working, it operates at speeds so slow that it'll take about 6 more weeks, operating 24/7, for less than 400gb to upload. I go to bed and when I check the next morning nothing's changed. I've had innumerable conversations with customer service, at the conclusion of which they've assured me, "No, everything's fine now, it'll all sync no problem". It claimed to be backing up 11.98GB, but the initial few GB blew by very quickly, and looking at the router statistics, only a bit over 2.5GB actually uploaded in the roughly 15 minutes the incremental took. They offer iDrive Express service, where you load your data onto a hard drive, but the postage charge for this - if you're in Europe, as I am - is $40+ ONE WAY, so we're looking at 80 bucks postage alone, and, based on the rubbish service I've received so far, it didn't seem wise to throw more money away. Regardless, I then ran an incremental backup on the same set with IDrive on the Synology. I've spent numerous hours reading their FAQ, watching videos, tweaking my computer parameters, etc and it's been massively frustrating and mostly a waste of time. Since then it's managed to upload approx 10,000 of my 90,000+ files. My experience with these guys has been pretty awful.
