#AMAZON PHOTOS DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE#
I'm looking around and contacting 3rd party software makers to find out if they intend to support uploading and downloading from Amazon new service like they do for Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. The only thing I can say about Amazon's rollout of their new, consumer-geared unlimited storage is that it is a potentially incredible thing that is throttled and ruined by it's awful software. Shame on me, but I mistakenly thought that by sending all my thousands of photos, videos, documents, etc from my private archives would mean they'd be as easy to access as they were from Dropbox or my iMac, but truthfully, they might as well be on the moon.
#AMAZON PHOTOS DOWNLOAD UPDATE#
There doesn't appear to be any simple way to have it monitor the folder(s) of my choice and update them in the background. Like others have noted, it is slow - very, very slow. I'm excited about the unlimited storage for $60/year, but being forced to use this app to take advantage of it is painful. Prime members can additional video storage at an additional charge. This includes Amazon Photos with unlimited photo & up to 5GB of video storage as well as the hallmark free shipping, Amazon Music, Prime Video, and more. A Prime membership currently costs 119 per year. Otherwise, just use the Amazon Cloud Drive web site-there's nothing you can do with the app that you can't do with the site, and lots you can do with the site that you can't with the app. Any one with an Amazon account can store up to 5GB at no cost. Those who have an Amazon Prime account will have additional. If you have the earlier app, I recommend you continue using it until an OS update permanently breaks it (assuming you are satisfied with the service and will continue using it). Amazon Photos is free for all users, regardless of whether or not they have an Amazon Prime account. Even if you are someone who finds Amazon's new Cloud Drive pricing scheme suitable and appropriate (and I am not such a person), there is no value to be had in installing and using this app. Note that this is not a review of the Cloud Drive service itself that has its own set of issues. The current app is little more than an interface to the Cloud Drive web site-with fewer features and capabilities than the web page itself. That app has not been distributed or supported by Amazon for over a year. Desktop Scheduled or one-time uploads to save all your photos.
Mobile Set Auto-Save to back up the photos and videos on your phone. Web Organize and edit your photos online. The old app was a menu bar app that allowed automatic synchronization of a folder to your Cloud Drive, as Dropbox does. Amazon Photos lets you back up photos, videos, and more from your computer to your Amazon Photos account. The distinction is subtle, but significant. This is not the same app as the old "Amazon Cloud Drive.app".
