It’s 60 dollars a year – or 5 dollars a month where you can upload any kind of file – music, video, documents – anything you want.īut it doesn’t have a large app library like Dropbox ( here’s Cloud Drive’s meager app library).
Unlimited photo backup for just a dollar a month is an awesome deal – I’ll give you that. Plus any photo you choose to upload using desktop apps or the website. This allows you to automatically back up any photo from your phone to Amazon Cloud Drive. For a dollar a month, you can get the Unlimited Photos plan. So the Unlimited Plans actually are unlimited. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of version control.Īnd here’s the biggie – you can’t assign a folder to Amazon Cloud Drive on your Mac/Windows and have everything in that folder sync seamlessly to the cloud and to your other device. Unlike Dropbox or Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive doesn’t have two-way sync or a full-fledged desktop client. And the language they use makes you believe it’s just like any other cloud storage service. The problem is that the website doesn’t do a good job of conveying what exactly it is that you get. Cloud Drive has two plans – “Unlimited Photos” and “Unlimited Everything” (both come with a gracious 3-month trial period). It’s kind of becoming my catch phrase.Īmazon Cloud Drive is no different. I’ve said this many times at Guiding Tech: “The cloud is a mystery”. So what is it exactly? And why is it so cheap? Are we looking at another case of too cheap to be any good? Read on to find out.
