Amazon has made cloud storage a lot more affordable by announcing unlimited cloud data storage plans, as it aims to take on competitors like Google, Dropbox, Microsoft, and Apple, in the ever-growing cloud space. The company has announced unlimited cloud storage with Amazon Cloud Drive — two new storage plans for customers to store their photos, videos, movies, music, and files.

Unlimited Photos Plan (free 3-month trial, then $11.99 per year) allows customers to store an infinite number of photos in Cloud Drive. Customers can upload existing collections and store all future photos taken. This plan also includes 5 GB of additional storage for videos or other documents and files. While, Unlimited Everything Plan (free 3-month trial, then $59.99 per year) enables users store an infinite number of new and existing photos, videos, files, documents, movies, and music in Cloud Drive. “With the two new plans we are introducing today, customers don’t need to worry about storage space—they now have an affordable, secure solution to store unlimited amounts of photos, videos, movies, music, and files in one convenient place," Josh Petersen, director of Amazon Cloud Drive, said. Existing Cloud Drive customers can change their plans now by logging into their Cloud Drive accounts.
