Restore Photos From iDrive

One of the major benefits of backing up your photos and videos online is that you can restore them to your mobile device. You might do this if you lose any photos or videos on your current device, move to a new device, or have multiple devices.

To restore all the items from iDrive Photos on an iPhone or iPad, open the Settings screen and select Start Supercharged Restore. The status will indicate that a restore is in progress, showing the number of items left to restore. Stay on this screen while the process is underway.

When it's finished, the app will switch back to the Settings screen, indicating that all the items have been restored. Tapping the option for Start Supercharged Restore displays a message telling you that there are no new files for restoration.

On an Android device, open the Settings screen and tap Restore All. The status indicates the progress of the restore, telling you how many items have been restored out of a certain total. After the process completes, the countdown stops. Tapping the option again tells you that all files have already been restored.
