About Livedrive

Livedrive is a UK cloud backup provider that offers unlimited backup for computers, with optional Briefcase storage for syncing and sharing files across devices. Backups run in the background and keep previous versions, and files can be streamed or downloaded through the web and mobile apps, including media playback. Plans are priced in pounds, with US dollar and euro options, and come with a free trial; there is no free plan. Reseller and business offerings exist alongside personal plans. Apps run on Windows and macOS with iOS and Android apps for access on the go. It is a straightforward choice for UK users who want local billing and support, but its apps are less polished than Backblaze's, Briefcase costs extra, and there is no Linux support or zero-knowledge encryption option.

Best for: UK households wanting unlimited backup billed in pounds.
