Very ready to test new amazon cloud setup i currently have 20TB in my amazon drive
call me curios…
isamazon “unlimited” is truly unlimited ?
i can see that some users will easily abuse it dumping torrent’ed movie rips on their drives
how safe is it actually to use amazon drive
i am curious because i want to know what amazon can see, it isn’t legal stuff what i will be uploading if a used this cloud functionality.
I am at 42TB, still no end

I tried this with a local company offering unlimited, turned out unlimited was 20TB.
also keep in mind what happend with onedrive.
i’m starting to upload hopefully get picked
I keep looking around and it seems Amazon scans your content. People have had their account disabled for copyrighted material… I say this 8TBs in to my upload. I wish plex had come up with a way to encrypt your content, and have the plex media server have the key.

Can you provide evidence for this? Not trying to be difficult but there are a lot of rumours that I’ve seen but nothing substantiated.

All I’ve seen is a couple of people say this happened to them because they shared a file using amazon clouds share feature, amazon disabled share functionality on their account and that was it.

Maybe they did! We don’t know yet. (Do we?) I’m not quite sure why so many are starting to upload their libraries in hopes that they’ll receive an invite soon. Why not just wait until we know more and know we’re doing it correctly?

Right. Which means they uploaded the file, navigated to it using the Amazon Cloud Drive web interface, and clicked “Share” to send a download link or whatnot to someone else.
Which is something none of us would ever do, right?

The other comments are correct though, it was only after sharing content. My question would be then… would you not be sharing if you put Plex in the cloud? A scale-able media server that could support multiple users. I mean, I already have several people connecting to my house.
I think the best comment was “we don’t know yet”
On top of it, Amazon is offering a 3 month free trial. So there’s no issue… yet
Just glad to have a good internet connection at this point. Can’t imagine all this on 10MB upload

No resting encryption. That says enough.

You can easily find the information about them scanning information that’s uploaded to them. In this other thread I responded with my thoughts on the matter. No amazon drive for me, no thanks.

My question was legitimate though - you’ve said that people have had their accounts disabled. I’ve seen people saying that they’ve had the SHARING on their accounts disabled but not the accounts themselves. All I’ve asked for is some evidence to back up your assertion that they have.

Didn’t mean to take offense, but those type of account actions honestly don’t need to be proven. It’s specifically states they will disable your account within their terms of service. One person saying it happened to them wouldn’t sway my opinion on a service because we’re all different instances. Coming from an IT background, I would never host any of my private data with a provider that has full reins on it, and can use, copy, and whistle blow. If the data you have is licensed, then by all means use the service, it’s nice… but for the 85% of people that obtain data from other methods, this is a dangerous honey pot. With internet regulations becoming more stricter and stricter, the internet is not going to be the same anymore. I wouldn’t line up the shot to shoot myself in the foot because of the word “unlimited”.
While not technically on topic with what you’re looking for as an answer I wouldn’t doubt that these type of account actions haven’t occurred. Amazon being the size that it is, it’s more than likely that someone’s account has been shutdown for such violations.
Zealot…You’re right, and its why I didn’t answer. Not just on the policy, but on the entire comment.
But saying that it’s more than likely is different to saying that they have which is what you said before. I don’t deny that Amazon say that they ‘will’, my question was more about whether or not they actually ‘have’.

It’s definitely something I’d never do, not sure about others though.
