# {{< icon "fab fa-amazon" >}} Amazon Drive

Amazon Drive, formerly known as Amazon Cloud Drive, was a cloud storage
service run by Amazon for consumers.

From 2023-12-31, [Amazon Drive has been discontinued](https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=23943055011)
by Amazon so the Amazon Drive backend has been removed.

You can still use Amazon Photos to access your photos and videos.

docs: update rclone about docs Create a full loop of documentation for rclone about, backends overview and individual backend pages. Discussion: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4774 relates Previously pull was requested, in part, under ref https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4801 Notes: Introduce a tentative draft see-link format the end of sections to try rather than lots of in-para links. Update about.go incl link to list of backends not supporting about. In list of backends not supporting about, include link to about command reference. I appreciate there may be decisions to make going forward about whether command links should be code formatted, and using proper pretty url links, but I have fudged that for now. Update backend pages that do not support about with wording used previously for ftp - it is in passive voice but I can live with it. (my own wording and fault). The note is applied to a limitations section. If one does not already exist it is created (even if there are other limitations with their own sections) 2020-11-27 14:08:52 +00:00
