Differences Between Premium Accounts with OpenDrive

24 Apr 2014 | Under Business, General | Posted by | 0 Comments

You may have already made the important decision to start using a cloud service. Now you may not be sure which plan or provider to go with to meet your needs and budget. Different providers charge extra for some features that others include standard. It is important that you get the best service for your money and needs. Today we will look at OpenDrive’s premium account types, what each one can do for you, and why they are some of the best available.

One of OpenDrive’s most popular premium plans is their Personal Unlimited Plan. For only $12.95 per month or a discounted $129 per year, you will find that practically everything is indeed unlimited.  Unlimited storage space allows you to store an infinite amount of files and folders. Unlimited upload bandwidth means you can upload as much as you’d like to the cloud along with unlimited speeds which ensure that, depending on your ISP and connection, you will be uploading or downloading at top speeds without being throttled. You will also be able to upload files of any size. This plan does have a 100 GB download limit per day but most personal users will not even come close to reaching that. In the event of an emergency, such as a significant loss, OpenDrive will grant a temporary download bandwidth increase so you can get up and running again quickly. This plan comes standard with one user but additional users can be added at $9.95 per month each. Each user will gain their own login information but still share the plan’s overall settings. The Personal Unlimited Plan doesn’t offer custom branding, as it is designed for personal rather than business use. This plan is ideal for families or individuals who do not need several extra users or business features.

Another popular plan from OpenDrive is their Business Unlimited Plan, which is only $29.95 per month or at a discounted rate of $299 per year. This plan comes with all the same unlimited features that the Personal Unlimited does but boasts an increased daily download bandwidth of 250 GB. The plan comes standard with one user but extras can be added for an additional $4.95 per month each. In addition to the increased daily download bandwidth and less expensive user add-ons, you also gain custom branding. This allows you to upload your company’s logo to be displayed on all pages. You can also change the background and font colors, add HTML content to your login page, and even map OpenDrive to your own domain. This gives you, your clients and your users an experience branded in your name and allows you extra customization for your business.

The most flexible option is OpenDrive’s Custom Plan. Giving you complete control over each parameter, from being a personal or business plan to how much space or download bandwidth you need, you have the option to fine tune in a way that will fit both your cloud storage needs and your budget. Prices for this plan depend solely on the parameters you choose. You can offset the extra cost of some unlimited plan features by not choosing as much of others. For example, if you need several users but not a whole lot of storage space, a custom plan may be the most cost effective solution for you.

It is important to note that all of the premium plans come with standard features that a lot of cloud storage providers charge extra for or even fail to provide. With OpenDrive, you will always have unlimited computer and device access. This means that you can upload or download from as many devices as you’d like. You also get automatic syncing and backup, meaning that you can schedule your tasks to work for you on a schedule without constant attention. File versioning, which is the ability to keep former versions of files saved, is also included. Additionally, you get website access, so you can get to your files even if you are away from your desk or using a device that does not have OpenDrive software installed. If you choose to add more users to your plan, you will experience advanced user management features and settings.

Most importantly, you will get redundant backups and state of the art security. OpenDrive mirrors your data to multiple servers to ensure that your files are always safe and accessible in case of a failure or other issue. They also have amazing data encryption and administrative control, ensuring that your data is always as private as you need it to be.

With an offering of both unlimited and custom plan options, you are sure to be able to configure a plan with settings to meet your needs and budget. OpenDrive takes the stress off of you and your wallet by automatically including important features dealing with security and accessibility on all of their premium plans. All that is left for you to do is determine what other features and space requirements are most important for you. The good news is that with OpenDrive, there is an option for everyone, from the most casual of cloud storage and backup users to those who need much more.
