I can log in to IDrive.com and see all my files in clear text

.
Quote from IDrive personnel:

- ...when you just navigate to https://www.IDrive.com, the site is not secure as with almost any site on simple navigation.

Obviously, I logged in to IDrive.com immediately after reading the post.

I can open any of my files in clear text - as if I were using File Explorer on my own laptop.

What's going on?

Thanks

Re: I can log in to IDrive.com and see all my files in clear text

I think the quote from IDrive:

when you just navigate to https://www.IDrive.com, the site is not secure as with almost any site on simple navigation.

is probably a throw-back to many years ago when this behavior was deemed acceptable.

These days all sites are encouraged to always use encryption and redirect anyone who connects without SSL to the secure version (just like Backup Forum does!)

If I navigate their site now it is secure, and they have a wildcard certificate protecting *.IDrive.com, so its all covered.

I think they need to revise their text and remove old comments like this.
