Cheapest, largest cloud?

crich70 · 10-02-2014, 08:49 PM

What is presently the cheapest cloud service with the biggest amount of space that works well with Kindle? Amazon cloud can get filled up pretty quickly and they don't have a whole lot of space compared to how many Non-Amazon books a person might have and I wondered what others had found to be cheap (in price), large (in available space) and easily accessible via their kindle's.

Can a kindle access other clouds without hacking/rooting?

Sure. Just use the web browser.

I don't know about cheapest or largest but the choices I've made use of are Dropbox, Box and Copy. I think box and copy are quite good for free size but personally I use Dropbox but I pay for a terabyte so that doesn't count.

I've never got any Kindle to play well with Dropbox so I can't say more than that.

FYI the browser doesn't work with DropBox any more. Both the regular & mobile DropBox pages crash the browser at the login page which is a shame as it used to work pretty well.

Al clouds are free. The ones over the Pacific during monsoon season are really big.

pogoplug.com is $50.00/year, unlimited storage. but i'm not sure it will work with the kindle browser. however, there are apps for ios and android. so if you are using a tablet for reading, then this should work fine.

Use Mega. It supplies you with 50 gigabytes of storage, for free.

Here's a cloud comparison from March, 2014.

Thanks for the suggestions and the link to the chart.

Apparently Mega has trouble with the kindle browser too.
