Now that Amazon has announced the closure of Amazon Drive for 2023 , you may not want to leave things to the last minute and you are already considering which service to migrate to if you used the cloud of the company founded by Jeff Bezos.
Amazon Drive will phase out in different phases as the company focuses its efforts on Amazon Photos to provide customers with a dedicated photo and video storage solution. On October 31, 2022, the Amazon Drive app will be removed from the iOS and Android app stores. As of January 31, 2023, Amazon will no longer support file uploads to the Amazon Drive website. You will still be able to view and download files until December 31, 2023.
After this last date, you will not be able to access your files on Amazon Drive. We present the best alternatives if you used this hosting service.
Google drive
At this point, it’s difficult not to have a Google account, whether it’s through Gmail, an Android mobile, WhatsApp backup or any other of its services. And yes, just by having a Google account you already have an amount of 15 GB of free space assigned to it in its cloud.
Google Drive is a very complete hosting service. It is a cloud storage and backup platform to access files, documents, photos and more. Document management is precisely something that stands out, since it not only integrates online viewing and editing tools, but also allows collaborative management of the same, so that you can carry out teamwork in the most comfortable way.
Box
Box is a modern content management platform that allows users to easily manage all their content online in one place. It allows instant file sharing and access to documents from anywhere. You have 10 GB of free online storage.
No matter what device you have, you’ll have quick and easy access to documents, project plans, presentations, and videos. Box makes it easy for administrators to maintain a central view of all the content and users in their account through a powerful management console.
OneDrive
OneDrive is a secure file access, sharing and storage solution that enables users to store and share photos, videos, documents and more, anytime and across all devices, with native mobile apps for Windows, iOS and Android. You start with 5 GB of free cloud storage .
Users can also share files or entire folders, such as photo albums, without attaching anything. Since OneDrive works with Office, users can easily create, edit, and share their documents. OneDrive supports other collaboration tools, such as real-time co-authoring, allowing users to work with anyone inside or outside of their organization. Users can use built-in search and discovery tools to quickly find the files they need.
Mega
Perhaps you have more control over this service to download specific files by following a link, but it is also a cloud storage service and the one that offers the most free space: 20 GB free of charge.
As a cloud storage tool, Mega highlights its “secure cloud storage and fast file transfers.”
Dropbox
A few years ago Dropbox was one of the references for storing and sharing content, but today you can only get an account with 2 GB of storage for free to share photos, documents and all kinds of files from any device.
Despite this small free amount, Dropbox is still a reference for backup. File synchronization means that when you save files to the Dropbox folder on your computer, you will be automatically backing them up. In addition, it has restoration of deleted files for a period of up to 30 days and version history also for 30 days in case you want to suddenly revert some changes.
