Amazon Cloud Drive Pricing

Just checking lately on Amazon’s Cloud Drive pricing and options.

Amazon Cloud Drive has two options: Unlimited Photos and Unlimited Everything.

Unlimited Photos

You can save your cherished photos of family and friend using Unlimited Photos. You can upload your pics from your mobile, PC, tablet or Fire device, and share your photos on any device. Amazon also will give you 5GB of free storage for non-photo files. If you’re a first time user, Amazon will give you a free trial for 3 months. It’s $11.99 per year after the 3 month trial.

Unlimited Everything

If you need to store non-photo files that’s larger than 5GB, then it makes sense to sign up for Unlimited Everything. You can store unlimited number of photos, videos, or any type of file to the cloud. You can upload your files from any device and access them from any device, just like the Unlimited Photos service. Amazon will also give you a free 3 month trial. It’s $59.99 per year after the trial period.

The question is, will Apple Music eventually supplant Spotify in the future?
