Amazon Cloud Drive Photos App on Android

Amazon
Inc.
announced the launch of Cloud
Drive
Photos
for
Android,
making it easier to upload, store, share and enjoy photos from
Android phones and tablets.

Android phone and tablet
users can download the free Cloud Drive Photos for Android app to
take advantage of 5GB of free storage, and have their photos at their
fingertips in the Amazon Cloud. They
can purchase additional storage for $10/year
for 20GB. The Cloud Drive Photos for Android is available in the
Amazon Appstore or from Google
Play.

"Customers
rely on their mobile devices more and more to capture the memories
that matter to them,"
said Russell Dicker, director of Cloud Drive. "They
are taking photos at birthday parties, soccer games, and kids’
recitals every day on their Android phones and tablets. The Cloud
Drive Photos for Android app makes it simple to save these memories
into Cloud Drive and have them automatically available on your Kindle
Fire or Android Phone or Tablet."

Cloud
Drive uses the same data storage infrastructure used by Amazon to run
its own global network of web sites.

Features
include:

• Your Photos,
  Wherever You Go:
  Save your photo collection in Cloud Drive and your photos will
  be available to on your Kindle Fire, Android Phones and tablets, or
  with any web browser.

• Share Photos Through
  Your Apps:
  You can select photos directly from your Cloud Drive and share them
  through, email and many other apps.

• Save to the Cloud:
  To
  save photos to your Cloud Drive – press and hold on a photo or album
  and select ‘Upload
  to Cloud Drive’
  to save directly to the Amazon Cloud from your device.

• Photo Display:
  Your photos are displayed in a horizontal mosaic or vertical grid
  view, optimized for the screen size of your Android device.

Cloud Drive is integrated
into Kindle Fire HD. With the
high-resolution screen, photos come alive in high-definition, and the
mosaic view arranges personal photos. Customers can also use their
Kindle to view their photos on their TV using HDMI out, which enables
you to connect an HDMI cable from your Kindle to any device that has
an HDMI port.
