Amazon Drive is a secure cloud storage which provides easy access to the documents, music, photos, and videos that you have stored in Amazon Drive. The tremendous growth in cloud technologies has changed the way we used to save or archive our files, photos, and videos. Most smart devices we have today are capable of saving our documents securely to the cloud storage without us noticing it. Everything happens automatically and seamlessly. When we upload photos, videos or other files to Amazon Drive, they’re securely stored in your Files and your Amazon Photos library.

Amazon Drive stores your important files in the cloud and keeps them secure even if your Android device is lost or damaged. It allows you to upload your content to Amazon Drive from any computer – Windows & Mac. You can preview, share and access your files, photos, music, and videos on all your devices. It also gives you the opportunity to create albums as well as the ability to delete files from it. You can also access data files on your Android & iOS mobile devices, Windows or Mac desktop, and Fire devices from anywhere around the world.
