Do I just pay the difference for this month if I upgrade my plan?
Yes, if you decide to upgrade your account in the middle of your subscription period, you need to pay the difference amount between the plans on a pro-rated basis.

I have an older version of IDrive and I wish to migrate my account to the new version. What should I do?
IDrive accounts created prior to 11/23/2011 used earlier technology, which makes it difficult for automatic migration of data from old to new. All earlier accounts continue to be supported.
However, if you wish to upgrade your account to the newer version of IDrive, then you will need to cancel the old account, signup for a new account and backup your data again. In that case, a portion of your credit may be applied towards your new account (decided on a case-by-case basis).
