Apologies if this is the wrong sub, and if so please advise the appropriate place.

I currently use IDrive for personal use. It's not pretty, but it does the job and is ideal for my requirements.

My other business currently uses Nextcloud. This has more features (which aren't required) and is significantly more expensive as a file sharing and backup solution.

Ideally, I would simply transfer my business to IDrive and the business partner would have access to the account. We would both back up our files to IDrive and we would make use of the cloud drive (shared drive) for business files.

However, I can't simultaneously run my personal account through IDrive, alongside this hypothetical new account. This is quite frustrating - I have had conversations with IDrive and they have advised that this is unfortunately a limitation of their product.

Now I am looking for an alternative to IDrive. Practically the same product, in fact. I want software where I can, across multiple devices, back up specific (business related folders) across various machines (ie, my machine and the other person's machine), have a shared drive which can be used for collaborative working and a function to share files externally via a link. Most importantly, it must be cheap, like IDrive. I'm not looking for software bloated with additional features. This is simply all I need, and it is a shame that IDrive cannot offer a solution where I can maintain my personal account and simultaneously run a second account for the business.
