Amazon Cloud Drive offers 'Unlimited Everything' at a very competitive price, but will what work with the S3 integration, or is that something completely different?

Best regards Kenneth

Hello Kenneth,

Amazon Cloud Drive is a consumer product, meant to store media files (pictures, videos, music) that you've purchased through Amazon or created through your mobile device. It cannot be used for storing arbitrary binary data such as backups. It's much like Google Drive and iCloud Drive. Each one of these corporations wants to tie you into their platform by essentially making too easy to store your memories on their computers and extremely hard to get them out of their system.

In any case the discussion is moot since they do not offer an API suitable for storing backups on this service anyway :)
