The same announcement also explains the cost if you decide you need additional space.<\/p>\n<p>There are getting to be quite a few different plans out there and the plan that fits you may depend on your activity. For example, if you save many pictures and videos, Flickr at $25 a year for all you can store would have to be the best deal. Image and video take a lot of space, and $25 would take you further than paying the lowest Google rate for G+ image storage $60 for 100 Gigs (beyond the free version).<\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macobserver.com\/tmo\/article\/amazon-targets-photo-stream-with-cloud-drive-photos\">Amazon is also getting into the cloud storage game<\/a> (in a bigger way). If you have an android phone and install the Cloud Drive app, photos taken with that phone will automatically be uploaded (see image) when you have a wifi connection.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2352\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/2013\/05\/14\/more-drive-storage\/amazonphotostream\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amazonphotostream.png\" data-orig-size=\"288,512\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"amazonphotostream\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amazonphotostream.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2352\" alt=\"amazonphotostream\" src=\"http:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amazonphotostream.png\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amazonphotostream.png 288w, https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amazonphotostream-168x300.png 168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>OR, do what I did, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en_us\/chrome\/devices\/chromebook-pixel\/\">purchase a Chromebook Pixel<\/a>.
