Another cool value add for Amazon Prime subscribers: free unlimited photo storage that lets you access your photos anywhere: on your phone, computer or tablet.

https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/primephotos

Fine print:

Requirements for Uploading Photos & Videos: The photo or video is smaller than 2 GB - The video is less than 20 minutes long - You have sufficient storage space available on your Cloud Drive and on your computer - File and folder names contain fewer than 255 characters

Supported File Types for photos: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .raw, .tif, .tiff

For videos: .mp4 (including mov, 3gp, m4v), .avi (including divx), .mts (mpeg transport stream), .mpg (mpeg program stream), .asf/.wmv, .flv, .ogg,

Note: Supported video codecs include: h.264, mjpeg, mpeg4, mpeg2, mpeg1, h.263, Sorenson. Supported audio codecs include: aac, mpeg1/2, amr, wma, qcelp, pcm.

Photos or video file types that do not meet the above requirements can be found in Cloud Drive Files, but not viewed in Cloud Drive Photos & Videos. Unsupported photo file types are not covered under the Prime unlimited storage benefit and will count against your Cloud Drive storage limit.
 
Interesting.

If this proves to be well-implemented I may finally ditch my archaic photobucket account.
 
With this and their music storage holding 250k songs, I may move to Amazon for photos and music soon.
 
Prime isn't cheap, now up to $100/yr, but they just keep adding to the value.

If you share it with up to four family members (or friends) you can split the cost and it's an even better value.

Yes, but only the shipping is shared - at least last I looked at that. Still good, as long as they're not interested in the value adds (prime video, prime music, prime storage, etc).

It's pretty damn cheap if you actually utilize it. The free 2-day shipping(or $3.99 over night for most stuff) makes it worth it alone IMO. But then again, I try to buy everything on Amazon if it's cheaper.

Yes, same here. Amazon gets more of our business than any stores other than grocery and Costco. Free shipping alone probably doesn't do it, since I'd otherwise probably just bundle purchases to hit the $30 or whatever mark to get free shipping. But the Prime Video ... we ended up cutting our cable due to that, so huge value. Prime music is cool, though can be a pain since only one person can use it at a time (wife and I have it on our phones).

Haven't started using the photo storage, but like the idea. Since we're in the Google universe with our phones, email etc, we get a lot of value there - but the current 15Gb limit for a free account is insufficient for archiving.
 
Thanks for letting me know this. Apparently this service will automatically upload photos done with a Kindle Device. I found this picture already in my photos directory on the cload :lol: , apparently my son was having some fun with the Kindle :lol:
