- Approval process
- Manual or conditional approval. Applicants should operate as a legitimate IT reseller, MSP, consultant, business publisher, or other relevant partner capable of referring customers. IDrive's direct signup materials specifically describe an IT-business qualification process and may request proof of being in business, such as a website URL, a matching business email address, and a phone number. Applicants must accept the partner agreement, provide valid payment details, use approved personalized links, and refer qualifying paid, credit-card-based accounts. The public materials do not state a minimum audience size or traffic threshold.
- Other restrictions
- Partners must use IDrive-provided personalized links and refer qualifying paid accounts. Check-based customer accounts are excluded from commissions. Partners should not make unsupported claims about security, backup guarantees, recovery performance, or pricing. The public agreement and signup materials do not provide a complete PPC, trademark, coupon, social, or email policy, so those practices require confirmation from IDrive. Partners must also comply with applicable advertising, privacy, email, and consumer-protection requirements.
