Here's who I'd actually use, in order.\n\n## Laptops / endpoints (people's machines, scattered everywhere)\n\n**1. Backblaze Business Backup** - my default for small-to-mid remote teams. Unlimited storage, $99/yr per computer, install-and-forget agent, central admin console, and you can courier a restore drive. Zero IT overhead, which is the real constraint when nobody shares an office. The catch is the per-computer price scales linearly, so it gets expensive past ~20 seats. ([Backblaze pricing comparison](https://ifeeltech.com/blog/idrive-vs-backblaze-business))\n\n**2. IDrive 360** - the value pick. Roughly $20-30/device/year at team tiers vs Backblaze's $99, because pricing flattens as you add devices (~$199.50/yr for 10 users vs ~$990). Storage is capped rather than unlimited, and the console is clunkier, but for a 10-50 person distributed team the math is hard to argue with.
