(Dropbox relies on Amazon S3, as do many of the online storage firms.)Ĭurrently, you upload files to Cloud Drive via a file dialog in a Web browser, which is an awful interface. Dropbox also include desktop synchronization, of course, which isn’t part of Amazon Cloud Drive.

(You can use Transmit, Cyberduck, Interarchy, and other file transfer tools to manage S3 storage as though it were an FTP server.) S3 also levies fees for moving data around: $0.10 per gigabyte uploaded and $0.15 per gigabyte downloaded (after 1 GB free each month). This is cheaper than the retail price for Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3), which charges $0.14 per month ($1.68 per year) for each gigabyte stored up to 1 TB, and which lacks its own friendly front end. You can also purchase higher amounts of storage, ranging from 20 to 1,000 GB, for $1 per gigabyte per year. If you purchase at least one MP3 album from Amazon, the company bumps your storage to 20 GB for a year at no extra cost. If you can’t store music on your phone or tablet, and you must stream it - even from your own collection - you could wind up paying tens of dollars extra per month for something that’s free today when you store the music you want on your mobile device.Ĭloud Drive Compared - Cloud Drive includes a free 5 GB of storage for Amazon account holders accounts are free to set up if you are in the statistically unlikely position of using the Internet and not having an Amazon account. The fundamental flaw with cloud-based streaming music services is metered mobile broadband. Amazon will improve on all this, no doubt, but for now it has achieved the first-mover advantage on Apple and Google: Amazon wants to lock people into uploading massive amounts of music and files, forcing a subsequent competitor to overcome the burden of convincing users to transfer and manage files on yet another service. There’s no iOS app for either, and the method of moving files and music in and out is extremely irritating.
