Bad news for users who have relied on Amazon Drive to store their important files in the cloud: Amazon will close this service at the end of 2023but on the positive side, this announcement gives users more than a year to find an alternative and make the appropriate transfer.
the company says that Amazon Drive will no longer be supported by the company as of December 31, 2023, at which point access will be cut off completely. File uploads will disappear sooner, ceasing to function as of January 31, while the Amazon Drive apps for Android and iOS they will be removed on October 31, 2022.
As an important note, the company – which recently increased the price of its Prime subscription – has been quick to indicate that Amazon Photos will not receive changes related to thisat least not bad, because in principle this closure has to do with an increase in resources dedicated to the development and operation of its image storage service in the cloud, so while Amazon Drive has lost the battle against Google Drive, Amazon Photos will continue to fight.
In any case, it will be a blow for users who have trusted Amazon for file storage in the cloud, but after 11 years, it seems that it is a service that the company is no longer interested in.
