One of the best features of Amazon Photos is the ability to search and sort your photos. Amazon Photos also offers a desktop app where you can schedule automatic backups. With the Amazon Photos app for Android or iOS, you can sync photos automatically from your smartphone or tablet, meaning you don’t have to worry about backing up your photos manually. However, the unlimited storage is a great benefit for those who can use Amazon Photos, as it’s nice to know you won’t be forced to upgrade if you meet a storage cap. If you’re a student or hobbyist, this won’t be an issue, but if you need a cloud storage solution for your creative business, you should look elsewhere.

One important feature for creatives to consider is that while Amazon Photos does enable you to store unlimited, full-quality photos, the terms of service indicate that you can only use Amazon Photos for non-commercial purposes. If you want to store videos, sound clips, or documents, you will need to purchase additional storage from Amazon. It’s important to note that unlike with competitors like Dropbox, your unlimited storage with Amazon Photos only includes photos.
