Amazon Photos
You will continue to be able to access your photos and videos in
Amazon Photos,
which is not shutting down. Photos should not be deleted from Amazon Drive
if you want to continue to access them in Amazon Photos.
A: Because Amazon Drive and Amazon Photos share the same cloud storage location, your photo and video files in Amazon Drive access the same photo and video files in Amazon Photos. To access your photos and videos in Amazon Photos, please sign in to the Amazon Photos website or download the Amazon Photos app for iOS or Android. Any photo or video deleted on Amazon Drive will no longer be available through Amazon Photos and will be permanently removed from Amazon after 30 days.
Amazon offers 5 GB storage free for photos and videos.
