About Icedrive

Icedrive is a cloud storage service that gives new accounts 10GB of free space. Its drive mounting software makes your cloud storage appear like an attached hard drive, so you can open and update files without them taking up local space.

Apps are offered for the web, desktop and mobile, and files can be shared on a showcase page where others leave comments and suggestions. The service offers encryption for stored files. It suits people who want a storage account that works like an extra drive.
