What is the name of Amazon's cloud storage service for consumers?

The story behind the answer

Amazon's consumer cloud storage service was called Amazon Drive. It allowed customers to store files such as photos, videos, documents, and other digital content online and access them across devices.

Amazon Drive was separate from Amazon Web Services' professional cloud products. It was aimed at everyday Amazon customers, with storage available through web browsers and mobile applications. Amazon Photos, which focuses specifically on photo and video backups, was closely related but was not the same general-purpose service.

The service was formerly known as Amazon Cloud Drive. Amazon later announced that Amazon Drive would be discontinued, with support ending in 2023, while Amazon Photos continued for photo and video storage. That history can cause confusion when a quiz question uses the present tense.

Google Drive, iCloud, and Dropbox are competing cloud-storage services from Google, Apple, and Dropbox. The canonical name of Amazon's general consumer storage product was Amazon Drive, even though it is no longer an active standalone service.
