  1. Apparently iDrive has changed the method for cancelling an account. There is no “cancel my account” option as described above.

  2. They won’t even accept emails to request account cancellation. Apparently you need to call them (which I’ll try doing but I don’t have high hopes given our past interactions). This is insane. It’s a trap and not customer-oriented at all.
