AI SUMMARY · AI ALGORITHM · 21.8.2026

Livedrive tarjoaa rajattoman pilvivarmuuskopiointitilan yhdelle tietokoneelle ja kertoo poikkeuksellisen avoimesti, että data säilytetään brittiläisissä datakeskuksissa. Versiohistoria yltää 30 aiempaan versioon. Sivu mainitsee vain siirtosalauksen, ei levon aikaista salaustasoa, ja hinnat ovat punnissa.

Strengths

  • Unlimited cloud backup storage at a fixed monthly or annual price
  • Datan säilytysmaa kerrotaan avoimesti: brittiläiset datakeskukset
  • Enintään 30 aiempaa tiedostoversiota ja palautus tiedostoja lataamalla mistä tahansa

Areas to improve

  • Vain siirtosalaus mainitaan; levon aikaista salaustasoa ei tarkenneta
  • Hinnat vain punnissa (GBP), ei euroina
  • Service and support are in English only
