About Amazon Photos
Amazon Photos backs up photos and videos automatically and makes them available on desktop, mobile and tablet. Prime members get unlimited full-resolution photo storage and 5 GB for video, with extra video storage from $1.99 a month for 100 GB.
Photos can be shown on Echo Show and Fire TV screens and ordered as prints and photo gifts. It suits Prime members already using Amazon devices more than people who want to keep photos on their own hardware.
