Amazon Drive

I used this a few years ago and the PC sync was garbage. Has it improved any? I ask, because I see they do unlimited storage for £55/year which I would pay if I thought the service was any good. I'm currently using Google Drive 100GB for a couple of £/month and it works great but I'm nearing my limit.

Are you sure it's unlimited? All I can seem to find is that they offer 1TB for $59.99 per year per TB. Never used them so can't comment on that I'm afraid.

EDIT - found the part where it mentions unlimited.

Used to be unlimited but now Im sure its all limited to 1tb so watch out.

It definitely says unlimited.

Unlimited within reason, someone tried to test the unlimited and put something stupid like 2 peta of data on their servers.

Last time I used the app it was very similar to dropbox and I had no issues with it 2gb data on my last upload.

It's got a 48GB upload file size limit. That could scupper things as I'd like to include my latest Macrium backup which would be approx 120GB.

Google allows up to 5TB uploads, so maybe their 1TB package would be better although it'll be £25/year more expensive than Amazon unlimited.

You get what you pay for, I suppose.

Unlimited is too good to be true. Amazon scrapped its unlimited package in the US.

I'll just mention mega.nz as I has a free 50Gb storage with sync capabilities. However I noticed that if filenames are too long it silently ignores them.
