Re: Amazon Prime Photos
#33It's clear that the cost of storage is approaching $0, but it's surprising to me that the price of these company's services vary so much: - Box: $180/year for unlimited ( https://www.box.com/pricing/ ) - Google: $120/year for 1TB ( https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375123?hl=en ) - Dropbox: $100/year for 1TB ( https://www.dropbox.com/pro ) - Amazon: $60/year for unlimited ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/drive/land…
The problem with amazon cloud drive is that they dont offer a synt client like the rest.
So no desktop sync, only manual uploads and downloads.

#34Maybe this could be an alternative to Flickr for me. Unfortunately there is no Linux client, I hope there is an API.

So annoying that Amazon unlimited is only available in the US.
What a pity

>does your average Joe even care when you get 15GB for free from Google?
Not sure what you mean there, but for me, 15G is plenty (but then, it's mostly just going to email storage).

I guess nobody paid attention last time. It's a classic trick to launch over and over again until someone cares to give two cents.

I was going to say... we were launching it just after I left the team last year!

Is it not prime you are thinking about?
I am pretty sure cloud drive is available outside the US.

#40The risk of Amazon shutting down your account, even as a Prime member, is too high to justify investment in any of their cloud services or hardware. Even if they don't actually shut down your account and just send you threats based on fictional terms of service that you've never agreed to, as they did to me, I would never trust them with anything sensitive again. I wouldn't be surprised if they start shutting down AW…
Why did they threaten to shut down your account?
Probably doing something that violates TOS or something borderline illegal. I see cases like his all the time on various forums and they seems to be missing some important details...
