I just noticed that Amazon now gives you a free 5 GB of storage on the internet if you have an account with them. That's really cool but I'm having problems accessing it from my ps3. Has anyone figured out how to upload from ps3 to amazon yet? that would be a really cool way to host images and to get pictures on this forum. IF you can figure out how.....
Hi FF, I don't think there is a way to do this yet, there are no public directory options under your personal directory. The support is still very bare bones on the Amazon Cloud Drive. However, If you purchase an album from them you get bumped to 20 Gig for the first year and any MP3 purchases don't count against your limit. There are some albums as low as $.99, which is very cheap for 20Gig of storage. I would recommend getting one you will listen to though! Dropbox is still the better consumer cloud product, but I see Amazon catching up shortly.
Yes, matter of fact I have spoke to my senior concept designer friend from Bedlam game studio and he mentioned about Dropbox which majority of some big studio is using it to do storage and transfer online.
Oh that sounds really cool guys! I'm impressed by your tech savvy I've never heard of dropbox. But it sounds like a cool idea! Is it free? And does it work with ps3? edit: Oooops, it's a program. Guess it won't work with ps3.
I haven't tried Dropbox with PS3, but it does synch across all kinds of platforms (I use it for windows, linux, and android). You get 2Gig for free and you can get more by referring your friends. It's one of the more expensive of the cloud solutions but by FAR the best, IMHO. I am willing to pay a bit more for "set it and forget it" backup. I've tried several of them trying to figure out where to host my data. I've lost it all too many times. lol. One issue can be encryption. Also I wouldn't upload any files to a cloud service that you don't own the rights too. I've been looking into different types of encryption (most do SSL encryption on transit, I can't remember all the details on the actual file storage on the server.) But, I would save anything that might contain sensitive personal data in a encrypted "lock box" of sorts before you upload it...stuff like tax returns and such. Amazon is interesting because it seems like it could be a viable solution for storing a music library...even dropbox doesn't do that well unfortunately. There are workarounds, but they are kludgy. OK, I've ran on enough PS: I tried it...the web interface doesn't work on the PS3, unfortunately.
