What is Icedrive?

Icedrive is a cloud storage service from Ice Privacy LTD, a company based in Gibraltar. Its desktop app mounts cloud storage as a virtual drive on Windows, macOS and Linux, alongside web, iOS and Android apps. Paid plans add client-side, zero-knowledge encryption with the Twofish algorithm, folder sync and file versioning, and are sold as 2 TB to 6 TB subscriptions or as one-time lifetime purchases of 100 GB to 2 TB.

Icedrive has a free plan. Paid plans start at $9.99 per month, or $99 billed yearly. See every plan

Good for

  • People who want cloud storage mounted as a drive rather than synced to disk
  • Buyers who prefer a one-time lifetime payment to a subscription
  • Individuals who need 2 TB to 6 TB with client-side encryption included
  • Linux users: the desktop app ships as an AppImage and a command-line client

Worth knowing

  • Client-side, zero-knowledge encryption is limited to paid plans, and files stored in the encrypted area cannot be shared.
  • The Free plan has 10 GB and no desktop sync, file versions, link passwords or user-to-user sharing. Free accounts inactive for 12 months may be removed.
  • WebDAV was disabled for new users on 15 April 2026 and is being phased out for existing users.
  • Lifetime plans allow 2 sync devices and 14 days of file versions, fewer than any subscription plan.

Key features

Virtual drive
The desktop app mounts cloud storage as a drive on Windows, macOS and Linux, so files open in native applications without being synced to disk first. It is included on every plan, Free among them.
Client-side Twofish encryption
On paid plans, files and their names are encrypted on the device with the Twofish algorithm before upload. The key is generated from a passphrase and is never sent to Icedrive's servers.
Desktop sync and file versions
Paid plans sync folder pairs on 3, 5 or 10 devices and keep earlier versions of files for 30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the plan.
Public links and sharing controls
Every plan can create public links. Paid plans add expiry dates, download caps, preview-only mode, password protection, file requests and sharing between Icedrive users.
Mobile apps with camera upload
The iOS and Android apps upload camera photos and videos automatically, keep chosen files available offline and stream audio and video from the cloud.
Lifetime plans
100 GB, 500 GB and 2 TB plans are sold for a single payment and include client-side encryption. Further lifetime plans can be stacked on an account to add storage.
