Amazon Drive was discontinued and rolled into Photos

• fshbbdssbbgdd 4y ago
  Ok, interesting. I logged into Amazon drive, and I found a few files from 2012-2016. They consist of a small amount of music and some send-to-Kindle documents. I recall trying Amazon’s music service at some point. Also, sometimes Amazon would offer me a free $1 digit credit when I ordered a physical item, perhaps they also offered some free Amazon Drive storage? My working theory: I had some kind of free Amazon Drive account (maybe created as an accessory to some other service?). During this Drive shutdown, some kind of botched data migration resulted in that being turned into a paid Photos account.

    They regularly have "try service x for $y" offers. Example: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/ymmv-get-a-15-amazon-when-you-backup-your-photos-with-amazon-photos/ https://www.doctorofcredit.com/ymmv-get-a-15-amazon-when-you...

      Interesting lead. I just logged into the Photos app. It gave me a welcome/onboarding flow like I had never used it before and there were no photos in there. On the other hand, I can totally imagine 2015 version of me signing up for a free Amazon photos account to get $15.
