## 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.

## 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.
