Backup service IDrive launches a face recognition API for developers

IDrive, an online cloud storage and backup service, is launching a face recognition API today that goes up against the likes of AWS Rekognition and others. Last year, the company launched IDrive People to help its users find faces in photos they've backed up on its service. With its API, IDrive is targeting a very different market, though, and entering into the API business for the first time.
