Never doubt the power of competition in the cloud-based market space.
Per The Unofficial Apple Weblog, Amazon has introduced file syncing to its Cloud Drive app for OS X, which essentially makes Cloud Drive Amazon’s version of Dropbox.
Like Dropbox, the app allows files put into the Cloud Drive folder to be available on any Mac or Windows machine running Cloud Drive with your login details. The files are also available through any web browser.
Cloud Drive users receive 5 GB of storage space for free, which is equal to Google Drive’s initial offering but more than double Dropbox’s 2 GB of storage for new users.
The app is available as a free download and requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or later to install and run.
If you’ve tried Cloud Drive and have any feedback to offer, please let us know in the comments.
