Amazon has unleashed its Cloud Drive service to us UK folk – albeit quite some time after the US got their hands on it. Similar to Dropbox, Amazon Cloud drive allows users to upload documents, photos, videos and other digital media files to the cloud from any computer with an internet connection. Amazon has also released alongside Cloud Drive, the Cloud Drive Desktop App for both Mac and Windows, which allows for easier drag and drop style uploading.
