![]() ![]() ![]() The file-size limit of 2GB is fairly generous, but the inability to share files uploaded with others mean it’s unlikely to sway Dropbox die-hards – desktop apps or not. Like the insides of a netbook, the Cloud Drive offerings are predictable fare: 5GB of free storage with additional paid plans available. I’ll be honest: whilst I knew that Amazon offered some form of cloud storage service I can’t say I ever paid much attention to it.īut it seems that I’m not missing out on much. Right click Amazonsetup. The Verge note that the client lacks file syncing features – a core feature that’s present in competing apps from UbuntuOne and Dropbox (amongst others). The desktop apps Amazon are offering are not that featured. In all fairness, if you’re on Linux you aren’t missing out. Moving forward, Amazon Drive customers should access their files through the Amazon Photos website. As of February 1, 2023, Amazon no longer supports uploading files on the Amazon Drive website. Today sees Amazon launch desktop apps for their ‘Cloud Drive‘ service – but only for Windows and Mac users.Īnyone making use of the storage provision on Linux are stuck to accessing the service through their browser. A: Yes, on October 31, 2022, the Amazon Drive app was removed from the iOS and Android app stores. Not just mine, I wouldn’t imagine how this would be useful to anybody having more than I don’t know 2-10-50GB (not TB!) of files.Despite powering much of the cloud infrastructure that keeps millions of users files and folder online, Linux desktop users don’t seem to be having much luck when it comes to benefitting from the services themselves. ![]() In short: for me it didn’t crash but it just isn’t fit for the purpose. I’ve seen a lot of activity on the local db (it is probably keeping a db of all blocks -luckily my system disk is a fast SSD- and attempting some deduplication) but this is really something I have probably the fastest x86 cores (and enough of them) and this small thingy (I wouldn’t even call it app) is keeping them busy forever! And the Amazon Photos will restart and your desktop will get Amazon Drive shortcut for you to sync. Then after an inordinate amount of time it settles down and starts uploading at some pathetic speed (15Mbit/s) KEEPING ALL MY CORES AT 100%. Open Amazon Photos interface, click Settings icon at the top right corner to go to Preferences. I don't want Amazon Photos to back up or preserve my photos and videos.got that covered, elsewhere. At first it goes and reads them concurrently (which for spinning rust means something like 15MB/s total!). Installer Septemat 6:01 PM Elbie, I was able to begin using my neglected Amazon Drive App for Windows on my well-equipped, up-to-date Dell Win10 PC yesterday.then all of a sudden, I wasn't. Firewall blocking: By default, the Firewall is enabled on your computer. If Google Drive does not support the file type, you can’t back it up on Drive. Now comes the bad part: giving it the 2GB files. Unsupported files size or type: If the files you are trying to upload exceeds the maximum allowed file size limit, you won’t be able to upload them. Whatever, I have a “test” folder which seem to sync (as in upload from computer to ACD) fine with small files. I chose test it makes an empty D:\Amazon Drive\test I click the checkbox for test2 nothing happens (test2 is not created locally, no files are downloaded). Try the following steps, if the Amazon Photos app is freezing, crashing, or refusing to open. I have on ACD two folders test (empty) and test2 (with a few test files inside). Then when I chose D:\ as local ACD folder the folder is actually “D:\Amazon Drive” well never mind. Some background: my structure in ACD (what I had already thanks to rclone) is with less than 10 “first-level” folders although I do have quite a few files there (mostly digital camera pics, think rclone copy “My Pictures” crypt:/backup/ and I don’t have a digital camera since yesterday…).įirst of all when just configuring the desktop client it takes an unbelievable amount of time (40-90 minutes) to show me the “first level” folder structure so I can chose which folders to sync. We’re talking about 20-30 files, from tens of megs to 2GB, small names, NOTHING fancy. I didn’t have high expectations, I wanted just to have it sync (actually just upload) a not-so-big folder with backups. First of all feature-wise the app is barren (somehow surprisingly it’s much better than the official app ACD had for about the first year which didn’t really do much useful, I mean it wasn’t even pretending to do…). I didn’t want to set the tone of the thread but here’s my take too. ![]()
