Account configuration
To protect your account with the highest level of security, IDrive EVS configures your account with military standard encryption. This is done by using the
configureAccount API.
1. Configure With Default Encryption
Syntax:
idevsutil --config-account --enc-type=DEFAULT --user=<username> --password-file=<account password>
-
--enc-type:
--enc-type=DEFAULT to set default encryption for your IDrive EVS account.
- Username:
IDrive username. If you do not have a valid username Sign up with IDrive.
- --password-file=PATH_OF_PSWD_FILE
Reads account password from the specified file. Alternately, you can directly set the password using
--password-file=<account password>
Code:
idevsutil --config-account --enc-type=DEFAULT --user=<username> --password-file="MyPassword"
The above mentioned code can be executed using any programming language across any platform (Windows, Mac and Linux).
Output:
Sample XML output:

2. Configure With Private Encryption Key
Syntax:
idevsutil --config-account --enc-type=PRIVATE --pvt-key=<key file path> --user=<username> --password-file=<account password>

--enc-type=PRIVATE to set private encryption key for your IDrive EVS account.
