Is Amazon Drive worth it? The cloud storage in check
With Amazon Cloud Drive, the shipping giant also offers online storage for photos and documents. This practical tip will show you whether Cloud Drive is worthwhile.
Amazon Cloud Drive: offer at a glance
- Every Amazon customer receives 5 GB of free storage space on Amazon Cloud Drive. All you need is an Amazon account. Prime members also receive unlimited storage space for photos with no additional fees.
- Amazon Cloud Drive is available both as PC software and via the iOS and Android app. The application is already preinstalled on Amazon devices such as the Fire Tablet. The function is also firmly anchored on the Fire TV and the Fire TV Stick.
- Amazon Cloud Drive online storage works like any other cloud storage. All types of files can be uploaded and downloaded again if required. The photo storage is really interesting for Prime customers.
- Pay for the annual Prime subscription and get unlimited storage for your photos. You can conveniently save all pictures from your smartphone in the online storage via the app. If you run out of memory on your smartphone, you can also delete the pictures from your phone if necessary.
Amazon Cloud Drive: is the offer worth it?
- Amazon only made its mark on the market relatively late with Cloud Drive. The five gigabytes of free storage is a nice gift, but it's not that much in comparison. Other websites offer significantly more free storage.
- If you don't have a lot or little data that you want to back up online, the five gigabytes are usually sufficient. Additional storage can also be booked for a fee. For 8 euros a year, you can get another 20 GB, for example. Compared to the competition, Amazon offers quite reasonable prices here.
- For Prime members, of course, the photo upload has real advantages. The smartphone memory is often scarce and pictures take up a lot of space. Through the practical function, Amazon would of course also like to bind its customers to the premium subscription.
