Amazon today announced unlimited cloud storage with Amazon Cloud Drive (just when I was looking for a cheap way to store my data online )?two new storage plans for customers to securely store their existing content collections and automatically upload endless amounts of new content, including photos, videos, movies, music, and files. With the unlimited plans, customers no longer need to worry about how much storage is needed to keep their content safe and secure?they can choose either the Unlimited Photos Plan or Unlimited Everything Plan and only pay one flat fee per year.

I've been using them for more than a week now, and I think they are good. Getting 20-30 MBPS (Megabytes per second) on downloads and around 4-6 MBPS on uploads. I think it's a good service considering the $5/mo price for unlimited data storage. Plus they have a 3 month trial, so you guys can try it out too.

Does it require constant storing of the files on your computer in a "sync" folder? I've been looking at cloud storage and some of the unlimited ones tend to require that.
