“Cloud-storage provider iDrive has extended this appealing deal to owners of iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches,” Rick Broida reports for CNET. “You have to be a new iDrive customer, but otherwise the deal is exactly as good as it sounds: 50GB of cloud storage for an impossibly low 99 cents per year.”
“When iDrive first told me about this, I was sure it meant 99 cents for the first year, then a more typical $50 to $100 each year after that. But a company rep told me in no uncertain terms: ‘It will be the same [99 cents] a year from now. [This is not] a first-year discount or limited-time offer,'” Broida reports. “To get it, you need one of the aforementioned iOS devices on which to install the iDrive app and sign up for an account. (Never mind the in-app purchase options shown in the App Store; you should see the 99-cent deal once you swipe through the getting-started screens.)”

Broida reports, “By the way, although you need an iOS (or Android) device to take advantage of this offer, once you have your iDrive account, you can use it across all platforms: Windows, Windows Phone, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.”
