Amazon Drive is shutting down, when will Dropbox’s competitor stop working?

Cloud storage services are most useful. With them, you can save all kinds of files and have them on any device (as long as you have an Internet connection). Amazon It’s idiosyncratic, little known, must be said, and has just been learned to close soon.

The service in question is called Amazon Drive, and it offers all the options common to this type of vehicle. As such, it easily competes with other options like Microsoft’s Dropbox or OneDrive. As a result and henceforth the price of Prime goes up, the company will release one of its possibilities (which you access using this link and has a client for iOS and Android).

Reasons why Amazon Prime was shut down

As noted by the online store itself, this service is becoming obsolete and therefore preferred focus efforts on Amazon Photos (this allows you to save pictures and videos and is a great option as Google has stopped offering free space for the Photos app). It’s also important to remember that this affects everyone, no matter where you live and what type of account you have.

If the stored data, no matter how small, has not been downloaded by the closing date set by Amazon, will no longer be accessible. So it’s important for the web client to get them all using the link given above and that way you won’t lose anything. This is vitally important.

Service closing date

This will be gradual. there is three steps information stored on Amazon Drive at the last moment will be given in such a way that it is impossible to access. Here are the dates to keep in mind:

• October 31, 2022: Mobile apps will no longer be available in official stores, as well as Amazon’s own stores. This will make installation impossible and its operation will be deprecated.
• January 31, 2023: No more files can be sent to cloud storage, previously stored ones will remain accessible. By the way, this does not affect Amazon Photos.
• December 31, 2023: This is the day Amazon Drive ends, and if you haven’t saved the information, it will no longer be accessible. Again, it does not affect Photos, but if you are one of those who save files to this service, it is important that you mark this date on the calendar.

In short, we already know the death date of Amazon Drive, a well-run storage service, but had no effect He said the company would. It didn’t evolve like other options on the market, so it makes sense that its end was planned. There’s nothing to do but say good-bye.
