If you are a Prime member, it’s a no-brainer to use the service. You can upload entire folders, keeping their folder structure intact. I’ve already uploaded gigs of files to the service, including a 2.3 GB layered PSD file (which means it also handles files that are over 2 GB).

If you are wondering if Amazon’s service will allow you to back up huge PSD files or other formats like DNG, rest assured, it does. It’s called Amazon Photos/Amazon Drive, and it’s included with an Amazon Prime membership. What if there was a place to back up all of those photo online, and it had unlimited storage capability? Turns out, there is. At some point you are going to need to either buy more drive space or start backing up all those massive RAW files. Shooting in RAW format is the preferred method when it comes to taking photos, but as I’m sure you are well aware, these files eat up drive space quickly. If you are like me, you are in a constant battle to manage hard drive utilization. Also worth noting, in the screenshots you’ll see my wife’s name shown (Pam). This article covers how to set everything up so your files are automatically and reliably backed up. I’m happy to say that Amazon has addressed the bulk of the glaring issues that the service had in the past and now provides users with a solid system once you get everything set up to your liking. I recently revisited the Amazon Photos service after bailing on it out of frustration a few years ago.
