Best Features of Amazon Photos
In today's digital age, we capture countless memories through our smartphones and cameras. However, managing and organizing these photos can often become a daunting task. This is where Amazon Photos, my top recommended photo backup as a professional photo organizer, steps in as a game-changer. I'm sharing my favorite features of Amazon Photos that can simplify your photo organization journey.
Amazon Photos: My Favorite Features
Prime Membership Perk: Limitless Photo Storage
Are you an Amazon Prime member? Amazon Photos gives you FREE, unlimited full-size photo storage. Yes, you heard it right! While videos come with a 5GB limit, leveling up won’t break the bank. A mere $19.99/year gives you 100 GB of space, so your memories stay intact and your wallet too.
Automatic Sync
No more uploading struggles. Amazon Photos works like your loyal sidekick. The Amazon Photos App on your phone flaunts auto-sync, ensuring your photos and videos glide effortlessly into the cloud. And guess what? The desktop app syncs your computer's files too! Imagine, you can relive every photo without sacrificing your precious storage space.
Even if your iCloud-optimized photos reside elsewhere, Amazon Photos swoops in like a tech wizard, preserving your pixels in full size. Magic, right?
Sharing Made Simple
Share the joy seamlessly! Amazon Photos lets you spread the love and share photos with anyone who holds an Amazon Account.
Then with the Family Vault, up to six members can collect photos and videos together, creating a treasure trove of memories. The cherry on top? Each individual gets their own account, without a hint of extra cost! Imagine having all your family’s photos in one place!
Visual Symphony: File and Folder Views
Hold your breath for this one – Amazon Photos wows with both photo view and folder view! Most cloud-based photo services only offer either a photo view or a folder view. Amazon Photos has the best of both worlds - perfect for people like me who love to organize by folders!
I have all my photos organized into month/year folders on an external hard drive and now you can see those folders right on the Amazon Photos site.
Smart Search Magic
Ever wished for a magic wand to find photos? Amazon Photos' search does just that. People, places, things – you name it, it finds it. Tag your people, and you can summon them in a jiffy through the search bar. Places? It groups your photos based on your globetrotting adventures. And the "things"? It's not just objects, but even season-specific delights like Halloween.
Unleash Echo Show and Fire TV Magic
Transform your TV into a giant mesmerizing photo frame and watch memories on a rotating screensaver with the Photos app on Fire TV. But wait, there’s more! Your Echo Show can become a living photo frame, gracing your kitchen with waves of nostalgia. Select your desired album and watch time transform into beautiful memories.
