Yup, I'm currently experimenting with using an AWS bucket alongside [CloudMounter](https://cloudmounter.net https://cloudmounter.net) to create an Archive disk for things I don't really need day-to-day, but would like to hang onto. I'm currently not backing that data up, though. It's not critical, and the chances of AWS losing it are low enough that I'm not too worried. The biggest risk would be myself accidentally deleting it. One thing I have decided for sure, though, is that archiving lots of small files is awful. Much better to wrap them up in a tarfile, uncompressed.

Amazon Drive is fine. No need to have a mirror of all that data on my computer. With that I could have selected sync or no sync at all. + unlimited photo storage. Amazon Photo and Amazon Drive it’s like a single product.

  I've used Amazon Drive back when they offered their unlimited product, and they've lost/corrupted some of my files before. I personally wouldn't recommend Amazon Drive as a backup destination to anyone.
