A famous site in the whole world amazon to which everyone will be familiar also provide a cloud service
There’s one big problem, though – there’s no official desktop sync client. Expect Amazon to launch their own desktop sync program if they’re serious about competing in this space.
If you really want to use Amazon Cloud Drive, you can use a third-party application to access it from your desktop.
