Thus, the software was far less extensive than those of competing services as Dropbox, SkyDrive and Google Drive.

Cloud Drive now works basically the same as the software of the competitors: there is a folder and each file therein is placed, is synchronized with the servers of Amazon. Unlike Dropbox and Google Drive, however, no check marks are displayed in files that are fully uploaded to the servers of Amazon, which not a single glance to see if the upload is completed.

As with the other services is the service to a certain amount of storage free to use; above must be paid.

That will cost users between 10 and 500 dollars per year,
