G+_Daniel Stagner Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Anyone else been told by Amazon that your unlimited Amazon Drive account is no longer unlimited. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_J Miller Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Didn't know it had an expiration. "Current Amazon Drive customers who have the old unlimited storage plan will keep it through its expiration date. After which, those with auto-renew turned on — and less than 1TB of data stored — will be automatically renewed into the 1TB plan/$60pa. While those with auto-renew turned off, or who have more than 1TB stored, will have to visit the Manage Storage page to opt in to one of the new limited storage plans. Those who don’t take action to switch to a new plan — and who are storing more data than their free storage quota — will find their account in “over-quota status” once their subscription expires, meaning they won’t be able to upload additional files, and can only view, download, and delete content. Amazon says users in this position will have 180 days to either delete content to bring their total content within the free quota or else sign up for a paid storage plan. After 180 days, the company will delete data automatically to get the account back within quota — starting with the most recent uploads first. (You can read Amazon’s Data Retention Policy here.)"

G+_Daniel Stagner Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yes, I hear you. It is not fair to kick the early adopters off the train. I can understand the change but as I am a current customer and have been for years I think I should be allowed to continue. I got a letter back from them after complaining and here it is.

G+_Daniel Stagner Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Also looking at there pricing plan it is a lot cheaper to buy hard drives at about $25 per TB then to use there plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Hagos Rush Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I literally just signed up for the trial which means that it is basically irrelevant. This sucks - I guess I will go back to my original plan AKA External drive in the home and save up my pennies and buy another synology DS1515+ and leave it at my friends house for backup. Cloud data should not be anywhere near this expensive. But it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daniel Stagner Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 After rereading this email it occurs to me that Amazon effectively took my data and placed it in storage for $60 a year and is now selling it back to me for 30 times that price. Thats pretty evil if you ask me. It reminded me of a book called Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
