This will bring you to the home page of DriveHQ website. You will see the Member Login section on the top right corner of the page. Enter your Login Name and password in the login boxes, then select the service you want to go to. Please remember that your password is case sensitive.

If you have problems logging in, please don't retry too many times as it could result your account being blocked. You can click on "Forgot logon info" to recover your username and password.



Log out

For your own security, click the "Log out" button when you are done. It only takes an extra second, but logging out closes your open connection with the server, which is important for your security. It prevents another user from accessing your account, especially if you are working on a computer that is shared with other users. This also clears resources that are normally reserved on our server to maintain your active session.

Your session remains open in the background even if you move on to visit other websites, until you Log out or shutdown your web browser. You can return to DriveHQ using the BACK button on your browser and continue where you left off. If you do not Logout, and leave your computer unattended, it is possible for someone else to use the computer to return to your open server session.

For this reason, we have implemented an Automatic Log Off security feature to close your session automatically after a few hours of inactivity, in case you forget to Log Off.

In case of major disasters, such as fire, flood, theft, virus, etc. both the source files and the backup files can be destroyed as they are in the same location. Offsite backup keeps your backup data in a different location, thus it is far more reliable.

  • Online Email Backup

  • SMTP, POP & IMAP
