Amazon Cloud Drive Stores Your Files and Gives You Five Free Gigabytes

— May 17, 2011 — Tech
The Amazon Cloud Drive service lets you store your files in the cloud for easy access but also offers you 5 free gigabytes of space. There are many services out there that cater to the cloud technology market and those looking to store their files online, but Amazon's new service comes from an Internet juggernaut and offers more free space than their competitors (the most I have seen offered is 2 gigabytes of free space).

The Amazon Cloud Drive is built on the freemium business model: the first five gigabytes of space are free then you can purchase more depending on your needs. The Amazon Cloud Drive service is sure to attract more people into storing their files in the cloud and make those already using similar services consider switching.
Trend Themes
1. Cloud Storage Services - There is a growing trend of cloud storage services offering free gigabytes of space to attract users and compete with each other.
2. Freemium Business Model - The freemium business model, where a certain amount of storage is offered for free with the option to purchase more, is becoming popular in the cloud technology market.
3. Increasing Adoption of Cloud Storage - With Amazon's entry into the cloud storage market and their offer of 5 free gigabytes, there is an increasing adoption of cloud storage services by users.
Industry Implications
1. Cloud Technology - The cloud technology industry is experiencing disruptive innovation opportunities as more companies offer free storage gigabytes to attract customers.
2. Online Storage Services - The online storage services sector is seeing disruptive innovation opportunities due to the increasing competition and the adoption of freemium business models.
3. E-commerce - The e-commerce industry is affected by disruptive innovation opportunities as giants like Amazon enter the cloud storage market and offer attractive features to their customers.
