What is Amazon Cloud Drive?

Amazon Cloud Drive is your hard-drive in the cloud. Securely store your music, videos, photos, and documents online and access them from anywhere.

All you need is a web browser to upload, download and access your files from any computer. Back up your files to ensure that your music, photos and personal documents are available to you wherever you go.

The Amazon Cloud drive offers 5 GB of free online storage that you can access from any computer. If you need more storage space, paid plans are available for storage up to 1,000 GB.
Automatically store your Amazon MP3 Purchases

When you purchase digital downloads from the Amazon MP3 Store, you can choose to automatically save your purchases to your Cloud Drive. All your purchases will be backed up and available to download anywhere, anytime.
Safe and secure storage

Amazon Cloud Drive provides customers with reliable, secure server storage. Each file is stored within Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3); the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites.

Access to your Cloud Drive is controlled through your Amazon.com user ID and password. All communications are encrypted using HTTPS, so that your data can pass securely over the Internet.

Recently Amazon announced a brand new cloud service for storing files of all types as well as a dedicated online music player. Amazon Cloud Drive is similar to Dropbox as it gives you 5GB of storage for any type of file online that can be accessed by a desktop web browser and can be expanded up to 1TB of cloud storage.

Amazon Cloud Player works from your Cloud Drive, allowing you to play your music uploaded from iTunes, Windows Media Player or from your computer on any desktop web browser or on an Android phone with the Amazon MP3 app. The 5GB of storage shared with Cloud Drive can be expanded to 20GB with the purchase of an MP3 album on Amazon. You can upload MP3 and AAC audio files and play them from anywhere with full bitrate making this a great tool for both storing and listening to your music from anywhere.

You can now shop for music, buy with one tap, and listen in Cloud Player, all on your iPhone and iPod touch.
