The Amazon Cloud Drive service lets you store your files in the cloud for easy access but also offers you 5 free gigabytes of space. There are many services out there that cater to the cloud technology market and those looking to store their files online, but Amazon's new service comes from an Internet juggernaut and offers more free space than their competitors (the most I have seen offered is 2 gigabytes of free space).
The Amazon Cloud Drive is built on the freemium business model: the first five gigabytes of space are free then you can purchase more depending on your needs. The Amazon Cloud Drive service is sure to attract more people into storing their files in the cloud and make those already using similar services consider switching.
