IceDrive lost thousands of my files without any notification. Their support escalated my ticket, then ghosted me for 2 weeks before closing it. I’m sharing a script to check if your files are actually backed up: https://github.com/rupumped/NicksAPPS/blob/main/Python/IceDriveVerification.py. Note that it requires argparse.
Usage: python IceDriveVerification.py C:\Documents C:\Photos C:\Projects --backup-root I:\

The downside of using a lesser known cloud service, you take chances like this. I had never heard of ice drive previously.
With any cloud service or backup software you take a chance, especially if you don’t test your backups.
Even with the popular ones, there’s a risk of unrecoverable loss. They don’t test your backups, so if there’s undetected corruption, they may not be restorable.
An untested backup is worth nothing.
