Vinnie Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Now that Flickr have raised their price to 7.99 USD per month I think it's time for a change. I have about 9000 photos stored there. Amazon Photos offers unlimited storage (5GB for videos) included in Prime membership which I already have. I'm not sure if it can be used as a hosting site though. Does anyone have experience of the way Amazon Photos work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckw Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I use Amazon photos as online backup - unlike many sites it allows storage of images in raw format, which is a big plus for me. Last time I checked there was no facility for linking to images - its not a hosting site. Also while uploading is reasonably quick, downloading large numbers of files is very time consuming. For this reason I woudn't rely on Amazon as your only form of storage, but since I had prime anyway, it seemed worthwhile using as part of my 'belt and braces' backup strategy.
