Get ready for this. Amazon is offering a very low priced Cloud Drive service. And the limit is, are you sitting down? No Limit.
No Limit!
One for unlimited photo storage plus 5 GB of other file types (docs, vids) - 12 months for $11.99.
The other package is priced at $59.99 per year and is unlimited everything.
I chose the $11.99 Photo only unlimited package. 5 GB of doc storage is a huge amount for me. Even with moving over older saved files from 10+ years of saving digitally, I only used about 800 MB of that storage. If I were heavy into videos, tho, I would have to upgrade to the $59.99 a year plan. Videos are classed on this service as a document other than photo. Still a very small price to pay.
I have Gigs and gigs worth of photo files. I fill up all sorts of storage devices (currently portable hard drives, used to burn CDs and DVDs). So, having the option to upload every single image I have is very nice. Previous brands had limits which can come up pretty quick with today's new high megapixel cameras and large files from image manipulation software files.
It's not a painless solution, tho. Depending on your upload speed, it can take a long time upload everything. I'm talking days with a high speed cable connection. (Remember, your upload speeds are typically much slower than your download speeds.)
Once it's all transferred over, it will be a simple matter of uploading as needed.
Security concerns may be an issue for some, but I figure Amazon has as good a reputation as anybody else.
Check it out for free for 3 months.
Enjoy!
