The leading on-line retailer in America, Amazon.com has released a new benefit, Prime Photo, for Amazon Prime members. For a $99.00 annual fee, members not only get free 2 day shipping, access to thousands of free movies and television shows, and music, as well a huge lending library, but now Amazon's cloud drive offers secure online unlimited photo storage, automatic photo backup, and lets you access your photos anywhere: on your phone, computer, tablet, or any Fire device.
Those photos can then be viewed on those devices, as well as, on the big screen via Amazon Fire TV, the new Fire TV Stick, game consoles like the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, and some models of LG and Samsung smart TVs. Luckily, I have a Samsumg Smart TV, so I am in the process of downloading all the digital copies I had downloaded from discs and stored in window media. This will allow me to finally be able to watch them on the big screen.
Granted the downloading process is painfully slow, but it will be worth it once I get the movies all downloaded. At one point in time, I considered discontinuing my Amazon Prime membership after the announced was made that the subscription price was going up from $79.00 to $99.00 in 2015. With all of these great new benefits, I have changed my mind. In my opinion the $99.00 subscription is reasonable, considering the multitude of benefits Amazon is now offering, and I believe this is really just the tip of iceberg, with all of capabilities available thorough the Amazon cloud drive.
