It looks like I’m going to have to find a new cloud backup solution: Amazon has killed off their unlimited storage option for Amazon Drive. Originally, the service let you upload as much as you want for $59.99 a year, but now that price will only get you 1 TB of storage. Current subscribers will be forced to change to plans that start at $11.99 a year for 100 GB and end at $1799.70 a year for 30 TB. Prime members will still get unlimited cloud storage for photos, however.
Another cloud storage party is over, guys: Amazon has sunsetted its unlimited cloud storage plan for Amazon Drive - although members of its Prime subscription club will still get unlimited cloud storage for photos. From today, people signing up for Amazon Drive will not be able to select an unlimited cloud storage option. Instead they can choose either 100 GB for $11.99 per year, or 1 TB for $59.99, with up to 30 TB available for an additional $59.99 per TB. (The prior pricing was $11.99pa for unlimited photos or unlimited everything for $59.99.) All sign ups still get 5GB of storage gratis. Best to think of that as getting your first hit for free.
