Well this seems nifty- Amazon is offering 5 GB of Cloud Storage right now for free. You can store music, photos, videos- whatever you like- courtesy of Amazon’s datacenters. If your computer ever crashes there is a chance you might lose your music or pictures or whatever- so the cloud is a way to protect against that.
They are offering up to 5 GB of storage space for free right now- that is up to 1000 songs. If you decide to store music, you can either access via any web browser or use the app for Android. So your music is all in one place and you can pull it up using a web browser from anywhere. If you take advantage of the music storage, any new purchases from the MP3 store do not count toward your 5 GB quota.
You can upgrade and get 20 GB of storage when you purchase any MP3 from the Amazon store.
Thanks so much! we have been wanting a place to put our pictures at least till we figure out a better place.
Susan,
You can also store you pictures on Google’s Picassa for free, too. There is a space limit.
Thanks Dee! We have lots already stored on Picasa – we are starting to run out of room. So this is a good way to have yet another place to store.
