Amazon Drive

Rob Houg

All of my files are locked by Amazon. It has currently been 24 hours since reaching out and no response. I have called and emailed multiple times and all of my family photos and documents are locked. This is one of the most intrusive things I have experienced with cloud storage. I will be backing up my data locally and in other services from now on. Read the stories and you will see people have been locked out of their photos and drive account forever. Shopping works fine go figure.

I just don't know. I had been SO happy with it for the last year. I switched from Google Drive because I was constantly having issues with my photos taking forever to upload or not uploading at all. . When I switched to Amazon Drive I was SO impressed with the speed of uploads. And that I could upload on data if there was no wifi. Now, over the past couple months I'm having the exact same issues I was having with Google. I've tried troubleshooting. I'm at a loss.

works great, does what I want and need. amazon is a name you can trust to a certain degree for a product that will do what it states. I would like an option to cancel an upload so it doesn't get stuck in the que... a common error complained about by many with page after countless page of forum complaints online. but otherwise great cloud storage with generous free portion.

I mainly use it to view photos stored o amazon cloud drive, and its viewer is rather bad, especially its gray background instead of black, and the fact it doesn't switch to full screen when vieweing a photo. Also, there is no way to temporarily rotate a miss-oriented photo. Also, no dark theme. Also, a search could be a bit more advanced, for example, would be nice to specify (include, exclude) file extensions, timestamp ranges, etc. Maybe even EXIF fields on pics.

The App works well. I like the fact I can create folders and sub-folders to organize my stuff. Dislike the fact that Amazon restricts online viewing of videos to those 20 minutes or less. Anything larger must be downloaded. I find that a ridiculous restriction as it takes no more of their bandwidth to push play the video than it does for them to upload the entire video to me. That restriction even exists on the PC Amazon Drive website, and not just mobile app.

Like this cloud service very much. Good speeds for uploading and downloading. Overall a better app than Google Drive. I would like if Amazon would have given the free users at least 10 GB storage. It would be nice if there was dark mode. A simpler interface could be more attractive. Otherwise a good app. It could have been the best cloud service better than Google if you all made those updates. Keep on developing this more often.

The perfect utility for "belt and suspenders" users like me who worship the trinity of physical storage, cloud storage and more cloud storage. I sleep better knowing that I've backed up the backup of my backups. Amazon Dive is wonderfully accessible and much faster than One and Google Drives. But it's weird. It has a "size doesn't matter" policy that is hugely inconvenient (pun intended). File sizes are hidden. Sorts only by name/date. Why? Data is now more valuable than oil. Is Amazon skimming?

Unreliable behavior (or reliably bad). I rename a folder on one device and when I go to my drive on another device it is duplicated and shows differently depending on device regardless of refreshes. If experience was as seamless as Google drive I would switch for the unlimited photo storage.

I had started having trouble with one of my hard drives and needed somewhere "cloudy" to back up my stuff. Having been a keen amateur photographer since 2007ish, I've around 30k images, many of them over 10mb each. This app enables you to make an exact copy of your hard drive. Very, very good.... and it's free for Prime members. Even better.

It does allow you to upload files, create folders and that is it. Search does only seem to search file names, no meta data, no file content. Sorting is either name or upload date. No filtering. I do upload pictures and videos to my storage (which are not automatically imported by Amazon Photos...). Browsing through a huge list of photos is super laying lagging and slow. Previous of PDFs, pictures are also rather slow and off has quality. There seems not to be an API to access the storage.
