The Amazon Drive cloud storage platform will shut down on December 31st.
Going forward, any items saved to your Amazon Drive may only be accessed through Amazon Photos.
Files that are currently saved to Amazon Drive will not be deleted.
Amazon did not clarify this point when it initially announced the Drive shutdown in July 2022. you could also download Drive contents from theAmazon Drive website, though this option will disappear on December 31st.
Amazon Drive came with 5GB of free storage when it launched in 2011.
And, at one point, Amazon was naive enough to offer an unlimited cloud storage plan.
You shouldlog into Amazon Photosto see what’s there.
Also, Amazon keeps “Send to Kindle” files and various digital purchases in Drive.
You may find some stray ebooks and MP3s in the “Folders” section of Amazon Photos.
The Amazon Drive platform officially retires on December 31st, 2023.
It’s an odd thing to see.
