📷 Photo management Privacy ★★
Amazon Photos
Unlimited backup for Prime members
Overview
Amazon Photos includes unlimited photo storage for Prime members—closest modern analog to old free Google Photos for Prime households.
Mobile auto-backup and family shared albums; easy physical albums via Amazon print services.
Privacy is cloud-delegation like Google—not self-host or E2EE—but practical as a transitional Google exit if you already pay for Prime.
