I agree
If you have video or music files in Amazon drive you now cannot play them, unless they happen to work with Amazon's own players.
I just tried a .Avi file I had in there, the video froze as Amazon's onboard player can't do .Avi. then I tried an MP3, asked for open with... And got something went wrong....
So for me now, it just becomes a backup store for family photos.
Thinking it through some more, there will be no way to view documents ,spreadsheets etc in your Amazon drive, on your device, as they also need 3rd party apps. You would have to export them. Thn open a local copy, then edit and then put it back...who is going to want to bother with that.
It's a big win for Google cloud office solutions. Google will attract costumers from Amazon drive and from Dropbox with their 3 devices limit
I can't see how this can possibly help them sell cloud storage. Maybe they plan to exist the retail cloud storage market and only deal with big companies who will pay lots for lots of?
