Amazon Drive is ending on December 2023. This is what Amazon is advising Amazon Drive users to do.
Over the last 11 years, Amazon Drive has served as a secure cloud storage service for Amazon customers to back up their files. On December 31, 2023, we will no longer support Amazon Drive to more fully focus our efforts on photos and video storage with Amazon Photos. We will continue to provide customers the ability to safely back up, share, and organize photos and videos with Amazon Photos.

As part of retiring Amazon Drive, on January 31, 2023, Amazon will no longer support uploading files on the Amazon Drive website. You will still be able to access and manage your files on Amazon Drive until December 31, 2023. Here are the steps you need to take: • Use Amazon Photos to access your photos and videos moving forward.
Your Amazon Drive photo and video files are available to you through Amazon Photos. To access your photos and videos, please sign in to the Amazon Photos website or download the Amazon Photos app for iOS or Android. o DO NOT DELETE your photo and video files from your Drive account if you would like to access them through Amazon Photos. While Amazon Drive and Amazon Photos are separate services, they access the same photo and video files so any photo or video deleted on Amazon Drive will no longer be available through Amazon Photos and will be permanently removed from Amazon after 30 days. •
Review and download your non-photo and non-video files from the Amazon Drive website by December 31, 2023. Step-by-step instructions for using Amazon Photos to manage your photo and video files, managing your storage plan, and resources for additional help managing your Amazon Drive files can be found on our FAQ page.
