My Backups & Music are now in the Cloud

I’ve uploaded 12,000 songs so far to my Amazon Cloud Drive

20GB of storage for $20yr and unlimited music storage.

http://www.amazon.com/clouddrive

I can listen or download to the music though up to 8 devices using the Amazon MP3 player for Android or almost any other device.

 

One bug in the Amazon Cloud Drive, or maybe I’ll call it a feature request, is the ability to use the cloud drive in my Windows 7 backup for key files. If I had an FTP location I can create a scheduled upload to my files.   Additional storage is $1 per GB per year, 50GB is $50yr

 

Another bug/feature request is the ability to share my Cloud Drive music without requiring you to logon as me.

But this is a new service and they have been adding features but terms of use seem to prevent it.
