![]() I tried to set the default location for Amazon Drive to be “D:\” but it won’t – wherever I point it, it then makes the “Amazon Drive” folder. I know I could “move” them all into the Amazon Drive folder – BUT – then every file link and reference in hundreds of documents will be broken. On “D:\” is about 6 folders with all of our files. What I need Amazon Drive to automatically SYNC is “D:\”Īmazon Drive has installed it’s sync folder at “D:\Amazon Drive” This new sync feature makes it even better. With an Amazon Drive subscription costing only $59.99 per year for unlimited storage, or now free for a year if you buy a specific hard drive, it’s a great solution for offsite backups. If you want individual folders in your Amazon Drive to be synced, you have to manually select them. It’s also worth noting that any stray files in your main Amazon Drive root directory, that are not in a folder, will automatically be synced down to your computer. All files you want synced to your Amazon Drive and across computers must be in the sole Amazon Drive folder on your computer. The other is the Amazon Cloud Drive Photos app, which not only provides access to images you have stored on the cloud, but also allows you to configure. While you can select any folder in your Amazon Drive to be synced down with your computer, you unfortunately can’t select other folders on your computer to be automatically synced up. The Amazon Drive software will create a new Amazon Drive folder on your computer which it will automatically sync, just like Dropbox. Now syncing capabilities are natively built into the Amazon Drive client. To achieve this before, you had to use a 3rd-party app like Odrive, or do what I do, which is let my NAS handle syncing and have it upload a copy to Amazon Drive. Amazon has now added the ability to automatically sync files in your Amazon Drive with your computer. Sure, you can use the software to upload and download files, but that’s pretty much it. I’m a big fan of Amazon Drive and use it regularly, but the desktop software is a bit lackluster.
