★☆☆☆☆
This product is useless -- I am moving my personal cloud services elsewhere.
For reasons into which I have limited omniscience, Amazon has elected to replace a proper desktop client (which, albeit clunky and buggy, integrated with Microsoft Windows and allowed bidirectional synchronization of files and folders) with an application that essentially replicates functionality provided through its website. With the exception of synchronization of photographs with telephones/tablets, management of the system is a manual endeavor. This significantly undermines the utility of the Cloud Drive, particularly for those of us that are power users.
Consequently I am going to spend an entire weekend offloading my data and moving it elsewhere. And discontinuing my subscription thereafter. I suggest others carefully consider their intended use of this product offering before committing to any sort of upgrade. What a shame, I really like Amazon.
