Whitelisting IDrive Compute

Add IDrive Compute as a safe sender - Whitelist instructions

As most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide some type of spam filters, chances are that emails from IDrive Compute may get mistakenly sent to your Spam folder. In order to avoid this, we request you to whitelist IDrive Compute and add it to your trusted list of senders, contacts or address book. If you do not see an email from IDrive Compute in your inbox due to the filtering by ISPs, check for the email in your spam folder, open the email and mark it as 'not spam'.
