Amazon Drive

Amazon Drive is an app with cloud storage that helps individuals store, back up and retrieve data, such as documents, images, videos, and audio files. It allows users to utilize a drag-and-drop interface to add and organize files based on name, date added, and size.

What do we like about Amazon Drive?

Amazon Drive is one of the few cloud storage options with limitless photo storage. However, the service provides a wide selection of storage options that range in size from 1 TB to 30 TB for all file kinds.

Through its image preview tool, which accepts JPEG, RRAW, and HEIC file types, Amazon Drive enables customers to examine high-quality images. You can make basic adjustments to photographs inside the web browser app because Amazon Photos is integrated with Google Photos. 

What skills does it improve?

Administrators can use Amazon Drive to arrange all documents by setting up folders to store information according to distinct categories and user preferences. Users can find and recover data that were unintentionally deleted using the trash capability.

What age is it appropriate for?

Amazon Drive is appropriate for all ages. 

Is Amazon Drive free?

Amazon Drive can be easily downloaded for free on all Android and iOS devices. 

Is Amazon Drive easy to use?

The design of Amazon Drive's cloud infrastructure is decent. The smartphone app is straightforward and stylish. When the app is opened, for instance, a view of each of your folders is displayed, and you can use the bottom menu to switch between files and settings. When you first set up the app, you can automatically upload fresh photographs and videos from your mobile device if you don't want to do it manually.

How will users benefit?

An online data storage service with a focus on photos is called Amazon Drive. 

Professionals can use external communication tools like email, text messaging, and Amazon Drive to communicate files and folders with stakeholders as links and attachments. Users can access videos, images, text, PDFs, and Word documents using the preview feature without having to open the actual files. People may search, rename, and remove particular files using the built-in search capabilities.

What can Amazon Drive improve on?

Considering the rising frequency of sophisticated cyberattacks in today's world, the two-factor authentication provided by Amazon Drive is truly insufficient. Additionally, the app's relatively open method of storing shared links prevents you from password-protecting them or limiting access to certain accounts. There is also no end-to-end encryption or at-rest encryption. This is acceptable if you wish to save a few images of your family holiday. But if you work with sensitive or essential documents, there are a tonne of cloud storage choices available with considerably stronger security features, like end-to-end encryption and password-protected connectivity.

How much does Amazon Drive cost?

Amazon Drive's basic plan starts at $1.99 per month. 

Final thoughts

A solid cloud storage solution should be able to handle the pace at which files are uploaded and downloaded, and Amazon Drive is a serious competitor to other storage options in this regard. Amazon Drive provides incredible speed for file transfers in addition to uploads and downloads. If you believe that the speed of downloads and uploads is using up your system resources, you can slow them down. However, this rarely happens because synchronisation is seamless and quick.
