It's finished for the unlimited storage offer on Amazon Drive, which comes down to more traditional solutions.
While Microsoft made the same decision in November 2015, Amazon has just discontinued its unlimited online storage offering via Amazon Drive. The $ 60-a-year offer to keep as many files as you want in the cloud has now been replaced with less generous solutions.
New, more expensive offers
Now $ 60 per year will give access to a 1TB storage (up to 30TB for an additional $ 60 per TB) and a $ 12 per year offer of 100GB. This is not a surprise The interest of such an offer, which is really unprofitable for the firm, was up to now to compete with services like Dropbox, Google Drive and other OneDrive. Competition that has now fully aligned.
Let us note that the current subscribers to the unlimited storage will keep it until the date of expiration of their subscription and will then switch automatically on the offer with 1 TB of storage. If they then store more than this quantity, the affected will have 180 days to delete or retrieve their contents to eventually fall back under the right value before Amazon automatically deletes the excess files starting with the most recent sent.
Always Premium Benefits for Amazon
All this at present concerns only the United States since in France the unlimited offer to 70 euros a year with 3 months free trial is always proposed at the time we write these lines. Probably more for long. On the other hand, in France or elsewhere, Amazon Premium account holders can still enjoy unlimited storage for photos and 5GB of space for videos and other files. These 5 GB are now automatically offered to users who create an Amazon Drive account.
oh ya and no come the fee's :( not good
Expensive offers😡😠😤
That's a pitty, so much about having a good uncle. I just imagine how much they are going to make from this change.
