Amazon Drive Being Discontinued
« on: July 29, 2022, 10:20:31 AM »
I just got an email stating Amazon Drive will be discontinued, though Amazon Photo will continue to store photo and video files.

I guess it's good that they sent the email. I had forgotten I had files there, and it turned out to be a lot, mostly from around 2011-2012, when the cloud was fresh and I was into it. I have long since avoided storing things in the cloud, but am now wondering what other cloud services I may have stuff on from years ago. I'm definitely emptying out my Amazon Drive (they won't kill it until December, 2023).

I never even knew that Amazon had drive.

Worst cup of coffee I ever had was from a Biggby Coffee.

Oh and Ben, I found some old files in my Amazon Drive as well.

I first read this as Google Drive and my heart skipped several beats.  I use Google Drive a lot.
