Amazon Cloud Drive - Is 'Unlimited Everything' Worth The Price?
Amazon's announced the pricing for its online private cloud storage service 'Cloud Drive'. The unlimited everything plan is being offered at $59.99 (~Rs. 3751 per year). With that subscription you will be able to store almost everything you have on your machines - from files, photos, videos, important documents, music etc. Lot of people are calling this service disruptive in terms of its pricing (typical Amazon!).
Compare the pricing with the competitors:-
I'm tempted to give this service a try. What's your take?

Kaustubh KatdareOOPS!
I totally missed two serious competitors: The OneDrive from Microsoft which offers 1TB (and existing customers are already being promised unlimited storage) for just about the same price and the subscription also comes with Office35 (HUGE +) and Skype's 60 minutes every month (HUGE ++). Will have to give it to Microsoft.
Then there's BlackBlaze that offers unlimited backup space for about $5/month ($60/year). They too seem to have a reliable product. I've not used any of the above so can't comment on the quality of the service. But there are several good reviews of all the above services.
