| Electronic ecommerce company has announced the launch of unlimited storage plans. Aimed at new and existing Amazon Cloud Drive users alike, the service will cost as little as $11.99 a year. |  |
Last year, Amazon gave a boost to its Prime members when it launched a free, unlimited photo storage for them on Cloud Drive and today, the company is expanding that service as a paid offering to cover other kinds of content, and to users outside of its loyalty program.
The new feature will be split into two tiers—one for backing up and storing photos only and another for backing up all types of digital files from MP3s to documents and movies.
The move is a clear attempt by Amazon to compete against the likes of Dropbox, Google, Microsoft and the many more in the crowded market for cloud-based storage services. It’s not the first to offer “unlimited” storage, but it looks like it’s the first to market this as a service to anyone who wants it.
Customers can start experiencing unlimited cloud storage for free with a 3-month trial on either plan. Prime members and Fire device owners who already enjoy unlimited photo storage can choose to sign up for the Unlimited Everything Plan to store videos and files in addition to photos. Existing Cloud Drive customers can change their plans now by simply logging into their Cloud Drive accounts.
