What e2w drive does.
The short version. There's a longer, more technical list if you want one.
Backing up
| Your folders, where they are |
Pick as many folders as you like, anywhere on your computer. They
stay put. Nothing gets moved into a special folder. |
| It just runs |
Once it's set up you don't touch it. New files and changes go up on
their own. |
| It tells you first |
Before it starts, it measures what you've picked and says whether it
will fit. |
| More than one computer |
Back up a desktop and a laptop to the same drive. Lost a laptop? Cut
it off in one click. |
Getting things back
| Every save is kept |
Not just the latest one, and there's no limit on how many. OneDrive
stops at 500. Google stops at 100. |
| Deleted isn't gone |
Deleted files wait 30 days. One click brings them back, exactly as
they were when they went. |
| Go back to a moment |
Put a folder, or your whole drive, back to how it looked last Tuesday.
You see what will change before anything does. |
| Take it all with you |
Download everything in one go, whenever you like, as a single file. |
Keeping things safe from mistakes
| Lock a file |
A signed contract or a filed return can be locked. Nobody can delete
it or write over it until somebody unlocks it. |
| Deleting for good takes two days |
On a shared drive, everyone who can see the file is told, and anyone
can stop it. On your own drive it happens straight away. |
| Ransomware can't reach it |
It scrambles what's on your computer. The copies here are untouched,
and we watch for the pattern and email you. |
Sharing and working with other people
| Links with a lock on |
Put a password on a link, give it a date it stops working, or limit
how many times it can be downloaded. Switch it off whenever you like. |
| Ask people for files |
Send a link and they can put files into your drive. No account needed,
and they can't see anything else. |
| Your team |
Invite colleagues by email. They pick their own password. You choose
whether each one is an admin, a normal user, or read-only. |
| Folder by folder |
Make one folder read-only for somebody while they work normally in
the rest. |
Finding things
| Search |
Search by file name across every drive you're on at once. |
| Tags |
Put a tag like YearEnd2026 on files sitting in a dozen
different folders, then pull them all up together. Give each tag a colour. |
| Have a look without downloading |
PDFs, pictures and text files open in the browser. |
| Flag what matters |
Pin, flag or put a due date on a file, and see everything you've
flagged across all your drives in one list. |
Where it runs
| Any browser |
Windows, Mac, phone or tablet. Everything above works in the browser. |
| Windows app |
The app that backs up quietly in the background is Windows only for
now. It installs without needing an administrator. |
| Several drives, one login |
A personal drive and a work drive at the same time. Give each one its
own name and colour so you never put something in the wrong one. |
Not yet: there's nothing to buy at the moment, background backup doesn't exist for
Mac or phones, and it only goes one way — what's on your computer goes up, nothing comes
back down on its own. The technical list has the
full version of that.
Try it.
3 GB free, no card. It ends when the drive is full rather than on a set date, and nothing
is deleted when it does.
