Amazon Cloud Drive- Get Better Please - [chrisbrogan.com]

Dear Amazon Cloud Drive Makers-

You stink. I just bought an album and opted to put it in your cloud drive, which I figured would act a bit like Dropbox. In fact, I thought, “Hey, I am a heavy user of Amazon, so maybe I’ll start using this Cloud Drive.” But no. I’m not so sure. Here’s where I am:

I'm the sucker

So, I decide that I’d like to move these files to a USB drive so I can play them somewhere else. But no. Here’s what I get when I go to download these files off my cloud drive:

You can only move 1 file at a time

This is just stupid. They’re my files. I paid for them. This drive is supposed to be helpful to me. It’s not. And why can’t Amazon Cloud Drive accommodate a simple transaction that has been around for decades? Because they don’t want to accommodate it. It’s not a technical reason.

So now, I’m moving one file at a time, files I paid for, from a stupid “free” service that doesn’t work anything like more prominent services like Dropbox. That’s stupid.

Please get better Amazon.
