# How is My Drive different from Delta Drive?

They are one product with two backings, not two products. Delta Drive keeps your working files on storage we run; My Drive keeps them on storage you already own. Everything you see and do is the same.

The practical differences:

- **Delta Drive** comes with your plan and needs nothing set up.
- **My Drive** uses your own storage account, so the bill and the account are yours — and so is the risk: anything holding your keys can delete it, including you by mistake.
- Old copies of changed files are kept on My Drive only if you have versioning switched on with your storage provider.

Neither replaces **Delta Trust** for backups. See [is My Drive as safe as Delta Trust?](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/is-my-drive-as-safe-as-delta-trust-for-backups)
